Jack From Brooklyn Sorel Artisanal Liqueur NV 750ml

Inspired by the heritage of founder Jackie Summers’ grandparents, who emigrated from Barbados to NYC, and relaunched in 2021, this liqueur has a bright ruby hue and cinnamon-spiced aroma. On the palate, the light-bodied liquid opens with a light floral note — hibiscus is a key ingredient — giving way to baking spice and a final dried cherry exhale. It’s reminiscent of mulled wine; serve warm or chilled.

5 Stars/ Highest Recommendation "Perfectly rendered in terms of spice, floral aspect, acid freshness and fruitiness. Love it. Unlimited cocktail potential."

5 Stars/ Highest Recommendation Cassis-like coloring; excellent purity. BOFFO AROMATICO! My goodness, I detect major clove, nutmeg and ginger right out of the aromatic gate; this feisty bouquet is laden with zesty spice that lasts long into the secondary passes. Entry is- to my complete surprise- gently sweet, fruity, floral and spicy; midpalate is succulent, piquant, peppery, zesty and totally beguiling. Aftertaste brings all the various components together in a rush of elegant juiciness. Perfectly rendered in terms of spice, floral aspect, acid freshness and fruitiness. All the flavors are pulling the wagon in unison. Love it. Unlimited cocktail potential.

Interesting liqueur made from an assortment of spices and herbs including clove, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon and hibiscus. Nose is beautifully aromatic: smells like fresh baked gingerbread all the way, baby. I was a little disappointed by the palate: on the thinner side, the spices are pushed into the background as the sweeter, fruitier flavors take over. Soft and luscious, I liked it enough, but I need something more.
