Maikäferflugbenzin Likör

Maikaferflugbenzin Likor is a powerful German herbal liqueur bottled at a high 45%, built on a fine blend of selected herbs, roots and spices in the traditional macerated style of the category. Its name nods to a nostalgic old term for high proof spirits, fitting its characterful, rustic charm, and it has gathered a cult following on the strength of its intense, herbal flavour.

The nose is intensely herbal with fine spice and hints of liquorice and clove, the palate full bodied and spicy with a pleasant herbal bitterness, a light sweetness and warm spicy notes, finishing long and intense with a balance between herbs and gentle sweetness. Behind the bar its strength and bittersweet herbal depth make it a robust modifier, adding herbal backbone and spice to a drink much as a bitter digestif would. It is traditionally drunk as a digestif after a hearty meal, neat at room temperature or lightly chilled, and its strong character also stands up well in cocktails and long drinks.
