Ice: A glass of fine ice
- Nose
- Curacao orange and cream lead the nose.
- Palate
- The curacao gives this flip a brighter citrus-fruit profile than the richer Sherry or Duplex flips. The whiskey still provides the spirit backbone, but the liqueur softens it significantly. A lighter, more approachable flip.
- Finish
- The finish is citrus-warm, creamy, and lightly sweet.
- Summary
- A curacao-flavored whiskey flip with a brighter citrus lift.
