GranGala Triple Orange Liqueur is 40% abv. / 80 proof and is made in Italy with an Italian 1984 V.S.O.P brandy and the choicest oranges sourced from around the world.The aroma is rich, warm, complex, with a pleasant blending of sweet and bitter orange notes, balanced with a fine brandy base. Balance is definitely the word that comes to mind when sniffing this liqueur. The orange is very present, but not overwhelming, and you also get the brandy notes coming through nice and solid. The color is a attractive medium orange brown.
The taste is also complex, but balanced, with many layers of flavor following each other along your tongue in waves. First you get this light flavor of oranges and brandy coursing through your mouth. Then a nice mild bitter orange taste comes along briefly, followed by a rush of brandy, then along comes a sweet orange and orange zest wave of warmth that lingers with a long finish. The brandy and orange flavors finally leave your tongue but stay with you in the back of the mouth and throat with a comforting tingling warm presence.
GranGala Triple Orange Liqueur is made with infusion and distillation methods. First, fresh, sweet orange peels (not bitter oranges) are infused in Stock 1984 V.S.O.P. brandy, then this is gently distilled with only the 'heart' of middle of the run used to make the liqueur.
In a margarita taste test conducted by the Beverage Testing Institute, GranGala scored the highest with 94 points (versus 86 points for Grand Marnier), GranGala was also judged best for orange flavor and smoothness.
