Maurin Quina Liqueur




Maurin Quina Liqueur...$35.99
An Italian born artist later created the infamous icon of the green devil as the label for Maurin Quina.
Created in 1884 by Mr. Auguste Maurin in Le Puy. A sweet white wine fortified with an infusion of wild cherries and quinine in a neutral grape spirit, with measured amounts of cherry brandy, lemon and cherry juice added.  Production stopped in 1906 and only has been recently introduced.

TASTING NOTES
Delicate red hue, the subtle wine background elevates an array of tamed wild cherry flavor with light lemon and almond notes.
