Description
The Casa D'Aristi XTA Xtabentún Liqueur is a unique liqueur from Yucatán, Mexico, based on a centuries-old Mayan tradition. Made from fermented honey from the Xtabentún flower, aniseed and high-quality rum, this liqueur offers a perfect balance of natural sweetness, subtle herbal notes and a pleasantly spicy finish.
The name "Xtabentún" comes from the Mayan language and means "climbing flower", a plant that is native to the region and whose nectar is collected by bees. The combination of this aromatic blossom honey with spicy aniseed and Caribbean rum gives the liqueur an incomparably velvety and sweet, yet complex structure.
This liqueur is a true piece of Mexican culture and is suitable both on its own as a digestif and for exotic cocktails or as a sophisticated ingredient in desserts.

Nose: Intense notes of sweet honey, spicy aniseed and a hint of tropical herbs.

The Casa D'Aristi XTA Xtabentún liqueur can be enjoyed neat on ice or served as a digestif after a hearty meal. It is ideal for cocktails such as a margarita twist, an Xtabentún Old Fashioned or mixed with fresh orange juice. It also adds an exotic touch to desserts such as crêpes, vanilla ice cream or tiramisu. If you want to enjoy it traditionally, you can combine it with coffee in the Mexican style, which emphasizes its sweet and spicy character even more. (automated translation)

Gewaltiger floraler Duft nach Pflanzen, Anis und altem Rum. Fantastisch! Am Gaumen dann der ultimative Schock: Reiner Zuckersirup von klebriger Textur, aber mit 35% Alkohol, und Noten von weißer Schokolade. Mir fehlen die Worte, aber es wird gesagt, dass er sehr gemocht wird.
