Each release is blended to taste and bottled at true cask strength, resulting in subtle proof variations between blends. Elegant, lush, and multidimensional, Armida offers pleasures as rare as a perfect piece of tree-ripened fruit. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePears are all about timing. Ripeness can’t be rushed. And once it’s arrived, it can’t be postponed, either. How do you know? By paying close attention, using your senses to tell when the flavor and texture are just right, and then trusting your instincts to catch the perfect moment.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn that sense, ripening pears is a lot like making whiskey. Inspired by the care and attention of great orchardists, we created Armida as a celebration of fall flavors. It’s a blend of three straight bourbon whiskeys finished separately in pear brandy, Jamaican rum, and Sicilian amaro casks. The ripe floral notes of the pear brandy usher in a palate rich with tropical sweetness and studded with dried citrus and spice. We release it once a year, right when the first pears appear in markets — and just like ephemeral autumn fruits, it’s only available for a limited time. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" data-mce-style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance: \u003c\/strong\u003eBright gold with a pale rim.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose: \u003c\/strong\u003eOpens with creamy and sweet notes of carrot cake, dulce de leche, and chestnut honey. The pear brandy’s influence inflects the core aroma, with poached pear leading blackberry and dried lime peel. Shimmering at the edges are countless herbs and dusty spices. Notes familiar to Sicilian amari, such as fennel seed, aniseed, nutmeg, and cacao are there. As Sicily was once part of the Duchy of Savoy licorice, wormwood and chamomile are encountered here, in Savoy’s tradition of genepy and absinthe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eLush sweetness is kept in check by some sandy tannin and high strength. Here, the rum takes center stage, with blackstrap molasses, sambuca, and olive brine arriving first. The rich dark character builds with date and chipotle leading into pipe tobacco and walnut. The amaro is never far behind, exhibiting licorice root, gentian, green cardamom and kola nut.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish: \u003c\/strong\u003eGreen almond enriches an otherwise dry finish of black tea and slate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barrell Craft Spirits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43750276825303,"sku":"BARRELL-ARMIDA","price":185.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0246\/9753\/6596\/products\/tds-barrell-armida.jpg?v=1679980344","url":"https:\/\/thedrinksociety.sg\/products\/barrell-armida-cask-strength-blended-bourbon-whiskey-750ml","provider":"The Drink Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
