Full Circle Kumquatcello

It started with Kumquats harvested as the fruit ripened on family trees in the Adelaide Hills in May. The whole fruit was macerated in a pure grape spirit for six months. The Kumquats, smaller and more fragrant than most other citrus fruit, slowly released their incredibly intense perfume, oils and juices. The result is this superb Kumquatcello, which has slightly more tropical notes than our Limoncello; the flavours are reminiscent of guava and quince.

On the palate it explodes like sherbet lollies - orange candy and fizzy soda; this liqueur sits halfway between a zingy fresh Limoncello and a Triple Sec (or Orange Liqueur).
