In the Glass

Appearance

Slightly hazy, deep, burnt orange color.

Aromatics

The nose is assertively orange-focused with scents of both orange peel and flesh on a backdrop of sweet Rhum.

Flavor

The palate is in full agreement with the nose delivering a bold orange-dominated core with vibrant spicy accents redolent of candied ginger with hints of black pepper as the Rhum Agricole flavor rises on the finish.

Intensity & Texture

Full-bodied with ideal balance thanks to bright acidity and spicy orange.

Cool Factor

A great Rhum Agricole based Orange Liqueur made with all natural ingredients is always cool.

Value Grade

Selling at $30 a bottle — a liter bottle — this delicious Orange Liqueur punches above its weight.

Analysis

The Hamilton Petite Shrubb is a great Caribbean Liqueur built for Rum cocktails but it's extremely versatile and works very well in many traditional Brandy and Whiskey cocktails. It's made with a Rhum Agricole base with real dried orange peels from Martinique (nothing artificial added) and less sugar than most other Orange Liqueurs. We love the intense orange flavors that really pop in the aromatics and on the palate. This is a great addition to any pro or home bar.

How to Enjoy

The Hamilton Petite Shrubb is ideal in Tiki cocktails and beyond as we have found it to be the ideal choice when making a classic Sidecar.
