“At first encounter the Karoo may seem arid, desolate and unforgiving, but to those who know it, it is a land of secret beauty and infinite variety.”

Intensely fruity and watermelon candy liqueur.

Not as sweet as expected (or feared) with a juicy fresh fruity floral intensity that fills the palette.
