This liqueur made more sense in a dessert cocktail. There was enough dessert-like sweetness to keep me interested, even though it felt heavy after one pour. I'd order it again in the right mood.

I mostly tried this liqueur as part of a simple serve. I noticed some fruit-forward character, but mostly it was far too sweet. I wanted to like it more than I did.
flavoured - soft - creamyThe finish was the deciding point for me with Angostura. Rounded mouthfeel showed up early, while soft finish carried through the finish. It was gone faster than I expected, which says enough.
