Description
Tasting Notes
Gentle aromas of warm spice, spoon sweets, and roasted nuts open into flavours of dried apricot, caramelised fig, and subtle citrus peel. Smooth and almost buttery in texture, with a long, steady finish that lingers in quiet balance.
Serving
Aeriko’s elegance makes it best suited to lean game such as partridge or quail, or a well-rested cut of beef. It also pairs beautifully with airy or creamy desserts like basque cheesecake, crème brûlée, or rizogalo. Not a natural cocktail ingredient; more of a slow sipper.
Serve slightly chilled (~10°C).
