Nose
Sweet cherry-almond and orange liqueur aromatics rise in a compact after-dinner register.
Palate
The drink is more about layering and staged cordial identity than dilution or integration.
Finish
The finish is sweet, liqueur-rich, and persistent.
Summary
A layered after-dinner cordial service preserving the tiny-glass theatrical branch of the bar.
