Pirita have a gentle nose with orange peel, clove, anis and few other spices. Mouthfeel is thick and syrupy . Taste is very sweet on the beginning but then rise the wave of spices, which is cutted by quite strong alcohol bite. Sweetness and spiciness sneak back on the aftertaste with some bitter friends. Spices stay on the mouth for a long time. Pirita is more spice than herbal liqueur. It’s very sweet, but on the other hand, with less sugar it would burn much more. It somehow feels that it haven’t had enough time to settle down before bottling. It’s a decent and solid liqueur, just too sweet to drink neat, but good together with some warm drink.
