SKINOS MASTIHA LIQUEUR 20CL

Skinos Mastiha Liqueur is a unique and distinct spirit that originates from the Greek island of Chios. It is made from the resin of the Mastiha tree, also known as the “tears of Chios.” The resin is extracted by scoring the bark of the tree, allowing it to ooze out and harden into tears. These tears are then cleaned, purified, and infused in alcohol to create Skinos Mastiha Liqueur.

In terms of appearance, Skinos Mastiha Liqueur has a clear and transparent color, resembling a slightly viscous liquid. It has a distinctive aroma that combines floral and herbal notes with hints of citrus and pine. The fragrance is often described as fresh and invigorating, reminiscent of Mediterranean landscapes.

On the palate, Skinos Mastiha Liqueur offers a complex and intriguing taste profile. It has a sweet and floral character with prominent notes of mastic resin. The resin imparts a unique herbal flavor that can be described as earthy, slightly pine-like, and subtly bitter. This bitterness is balanced by the liqueur’s inherent sweetness, resulting in a harmonious and well-rounded taste experience.

The texture of Skinos Mastiha Liqueur is smooth and velvety, providing a pleasant mouthfeel. Its moderate alcohol content contributes to a gentle warmth without overpowering the flavors. The finish is long-lasting, leaving behind a lingering aftertaste that combines the aromatic qualities of the liqueur.
