Review

This is fabulously spicy.  The notes of clove, allspice and cassia are very well to the fore the minute I unscrew the bottle, reminding me of long winter days. The spiciness lingers above a citrus undertone, and is strong and confident.  This would work wonderfully with a twist of orange and an orange scented tonic.

Makers Notes

Testament to Cape Town’s rich cultural diversity, culinary history and bountiful indigenous flora, the ABSTINENCE Cape Spice draws its inspiration from indigenous African dishes, as well as our Dutch, Indian and Portuguese spice history. 

Tasting Note: 

“Dried floral notes and woody, bark, slight sweet spice. The palate neat is quite nice, there is a touch of bitterness and a little hit of spice on the back of the mouth. Tonic brings out a lovely sweetness that compliments the woody notes. Quite refreshing, could be used for more grown-up complex zero abv cocktails”
