Ettaler Kloster Liqueur Grün

Colour: Very pale green, almost colourless. Aroma: Citrus, spearmint, a hint of oregano?, light floral aromas. Flavour & Texture: Sweet and herbal with a spearmint quality and there is a floral, citrus overtone. The texture is full. A very unusual and pleasant liqueur which is not quite like anything else I have tasted. It’s akin to green Chartreuse but much milder in strength and composition and it has a crisp freshness on both nose and palate. Mrs Cascode nosed it and said it reminded her of citrus or herbal scented dishwashing liquid which sounds awful but she’s dead right. Then she tasted it and said it reminded her of mild herbal toothpaste, and again I'd completely agree. Both those notes may sound negative that's not the case at all – it’s just reminiscent of those aromas and flavours in a positive manner. This was from a pack of 5 liqueur miniatures we bought from Ettal Benedictine monastery in Bavaria. “Good” : 83/100 (3.5 stars)
