DECEM Aperitif Light Spirit | 700ML

At 10% ABV, this lighter interpretation of an aperitif-style spirit from DECEM was made using a combination of botanicals including strawberries, guelder rose, wormwood, rowan berries, burdock root, hawthorn berries, red grapes, gentian root, rhubarb root, and fennel. Each is macerated for two days to extract maximum flavour, before being blended with the real fruit juices.

DECEM Aperitif Light Spirit | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: On the nose, the drink offers a complex aroma of citrus fruits such as lemon and grapefruit, followed by herbal notes of chamomile, gentian, and rosemary. There is also a subtle hint of spices such as cinnamon and cloves, which adds depth and complexity to the aroma.

Palate: The palate is light and refreshing, with flavors of bitter orange, grapefruit, and lemon peel. There are also notes of herbs such as thyme and rosemary, which add a slightly savory character to the drink. The bitterness is well balanced with a touch of sweetness, making it a perfect aperitif to whet the appetite.

Finish: The finish is long and dry, with lingering notes of bitter orange, grapefruit, and herbs. The aftertaste is refreshing and leaves a pleasant bitterness in the mouth.

Distillery Information

DECEM creates lighter interpretations of classic spirits which are bottled at 10% ABV, not high enough to be classed as a spirit, but not low enough to be low-to-no alcohol options either. The brand describes them as 'light spirits', and has so far created a London dry gin alternative, a spiced Caribbean rum substitute, and an aperitif-style spirit, with Masterchef finalist Billy Wright lending his expertise to the recipes.
