This takes the cream liqueur category in a distinctly Spanish direction, with rich chocolate cream aromas that get an interesting twist from a sherried note on the nose and in the finish that serves to deepen the cacao nib and cream character. I’m personally not usually a fan of the cream category, but this is quite satisfying. Add a splash to your evening espresso, or try it with fine chocolates if you’ve got a sweet tooth. 94
