Barrow's Intense Ginger Liqueur is a Herbal & Spice Liqueurs crafted in United States.
Barrow's Intense Ginger Liqueur lives up to its name, packing a powerful punch of fresh ginger flavor that's 200 times more concentrated than ginger ale. This Brooklyn-born spirit is crafted using a unique cold-maceration process, which preserves the vibrant, spicy essence of fresh ginger root without any artificial flavors or colors.
Barrow's Intense Ginger Liqueur stands out for its bold, natural ginger flavor derived from fresh ginger root, creating a spicy-sweet spirit that packs a punch in cocktails. Unlike many ginger liqueurs that rely on artificial flavors, Barrow's uses a whopping 200 pounds of fresh ginger per batch, resulting in a remarkably pure and potent ginger taste that can elevate classic cocktails or shine as the star in modern creations.
Barrow's Intense Ginger Liqueur shines in spicy cocktails, particularly those with dark spirits like whiskey or rum, but it's equally delightful sipped neat or over ice as an invigorating digestif. Its warming qualities make it perfect for cooler months, though it's surprisingly refreshing in summer mixed with soda water, and it pairs beautifully with bold, flavorful cuisines like Indian or Thai food.
Nose: Fresh ginger root dominates, with sharp, spicy notes reminiscent of freshly grated ginger. Subtle hints of lemon zest and honey add complexity. A faint earthy undertone reminiscent of turmeric lingers in the background.
Palate: Intense ginger heat hits immediately, like biting into a piece of raw ginger. Sweetness follows, balancing the spice with flavors of candied ginger and orange marmalade. A slight vegetal quality emerges, akin to green bell peppers. The mouthfeel is syrupy but not cloying.
Finish: Long and warming. The ginger heat persists, leaving a tingling sensation on the tongue and throat. Notes of black pepper and cinnamon emerge as the sweetness fades. A subtle bitterness, similar to grapefruit pith, appears at the very end, cleansing the palate.
Barrow's Intense Ginger Liqueur is crafted using fresh ginger root that's macerated in neutral grain spirit for several weeks, allowing the spicy, aromatic oils to fully infuse. The resulting liquid is then blended with pure cane sugar to create a potent, all-natural ginger liqueur that packs a serious punch – it contains about 22 pounds of ginger per bottle!
