Tempus Fugit Spirits Creme de Menthe Glaciale 700mL
Date of Release: 20014
Alc/Volume: 28% Bottle size: 700mL
Collector Rating: 1
Tempus Fugit Spirits Crème de Menthe is fully distilled in Switzerland from botanicals and is unique in its genre. After cross-referencing manuals in three languages, it was discovered that a true historic crème de menthe is quite a complex spirit, and cannot be made correctly with mint alone.
This should be the only Crème de Menthe that astute bartenders and home mixologists who care about their craft will want. Excellence all the way!

Tempus Fugit Spirits Creme de Menthe Glaciale 700mL 28% ABV
After finding a few recipes that remained faithful in different languages, the necessary plant ingredients were assembled and numerous test distillations were conducted. The botanicals are macerated and then fully distilled; the finished distillate is reduced with spring water and cane sugar, similar to the Crème de Cacao. While fully distilling botanicals for the Crème de Menthe is costly, and the heart of the distillation is quite small in yield. This method produces the best results and the most authentic product.Tasting notes
Nose: The peppermint core aroma is absolutely dead-on and is incredibly fresh and herbaceous. Palate: Entry flavour is sweet and viscous to the touch but the minty flavour is genuine and intensely splendid; mid palate is long, luxurious and startlingly minty.Awards
