Mandarine Napoléon French Liqueur 70cl, 38% ABV, A Time-Honored Blend of Aged Cognac & Sicilian Mandarins, Triple Distilled with Rich Botanicals, Ideal for Cocktails & Cooking

I highly recommend this. It has the beautiful nose of citrus (fresh mandarin zest, orange, lemon) that you’d expect, with a sweet and velvety texture to support its surprising complexity on the palate (citrus peel, vanilla, hints of tea).One thing I’d clarify, however, is that this is not entirely cognac-based: Only 2% of Napoléon is actually cognac (of undisclosed age or subregional provenance). Can you taste it? If you look for it, yes, but it is very subtle.Whatever its constituents, they work harmoniously in the end: the initial syrupy sweetness is balanced nicely by the very smooth but bracing warmth of the spirited finish at 38% abv. Along with a gentle acidity and bright citrus notes, this prevents the drink from seeming too cloying, in my amateur opinion.I’ve yet to try this with a ball of ice, but I think it would be equally good chilled for those who prefer things cold; likewise it’d be nice as a long drink with tonic (a combo I’ve frequently seen recommended), bitter and sweet complementing one another as they do.I find it somewhat drier than Grand Marnier Rouge or Licor 43, and certainly even more so than, say, Cointreau, sambucas or major coffee liqueurs; but it still tastes a tad sweeter than Grand Marnier Louis Alexandre, Galliano or Benedictine. Ultimately, Napoléon perhaps most resembles Drambuie in overall viscosity and sweetness (roughly speaking!).Give this liqueur a try! I think you’ll be pleased you did so.PS— Don’t swallow this drink too quickly. Instead, enjoy yourself as its character slowly washes over your palate and manifests in a rewarding, warm and citrusy glow. (Thank you for reading my review. I hope it has been somewhat helpful.)

This is my favourite liqueur, it is soo good.

I buy this on behalf of my brother in law ,he absolutely loves it and has got others hooked on it it's smooth and has a orangey taste so easy to drink ,and is warming as it goes down but again it's down to personal taste

I have never tried Mandarin Napoleon Liquer, Cognac before, having been meaning to try it for several years now. I must say I am pleased that I did. I was very impressed. The drink does have quite an orangery taste not dissimilar to Grand Marnier but it does have a nice kick that lasts. I can see why Napoleon liked this drink so much. On a cold winters evening by a log fire would be the perfect setting to enjoy this drink, or anywhere else for that matter. I would definitely recommend this liqueur & I will definitely be purchasing it again.

Very Good
