Taste profile
The aroma opens on bright bergamot and citrus blossom, carried into a soft floral-herbal body with gentle sweetness and a faintly bitter, resinous finish.
How it's used
A low-proof floral modifier, it is stirred or built in modest measures to add bergamot aromatics and light sweetness, and it also lengthens well when topped with sparkling wine or soda.

Description
Derived from a base of bergamot with supporting botanicals such as citrus peel, herbs and flowers, it is a pale, light-bodied liqueur that leans aromatic rather than heavily sweet.
