Marolo Milla Liqueur Grappa and Camomile

Description

Digestif, anyone? Or, rather, that should be digestivo, as the Italians would have it. This intriguingly chartreuse-green liqueur is made by infusing grappa – specifically distilled from Piedmontese nebbiolo grape pomace – with chamomile blossoms. There’s considerable sweetness here, too, but the balance is spot-on. Think of peach-apricot syrup mixed with chamomile tea and punched up with the heady spice and bite of 35-per-cent alcohol. Score – 92. (Beppi Crosariol, theglobeandmail.com, Dec. 19, 2017)
