BTI TASTING NOTES & COMMENTS:


Banane du Brésil – Gold Medal – 95/100
 Impressively pure and rich, a decadent liqueur for sipping on the rocks, mixing, or pouring over vanilla ice cream. 

Cassis Noir de bourgogne- Gold Medal- 95/100
 … rich and pure, sweet cassis and honey palate with a long, earthy, briary cassis fade. Outstanding.

Mûroise du Val de Loire- Gold Medal- 94/100
Very tasty and extravagant. Will make for outrageous cocktails.
