Possibly the worst liqueur I've ever had. It's like it was made from spoiled orange marmalade. Sickly sweet with annoying bitter sour undertones that ruin even the orange part of the flavor.

Strong orange peel and orange Jolly Rancher with just a little brandy peeking through. Very sweet, very fruity. No other flavors stand a chance. Oily thick.
Hyper-sweet. Nothing but sweetness and orange. The brandy is unnoticeable and there is no complexity on its own, but for a margarita I'd say go for it.
Significantly cheaper than Grand Marnier and nearly as good. Pours a similar color. Is made of Italan Brandy as opposed to Cognac.
When you can’t spring for Grand Marnier this is a fair substitution but you get what you pay for
Not that I usually sip triple sec straight up or anything, but this is particularly bitter.
