BV Land Triple Sec Liqueur (700ml)

Triple sec is a French innovation which began as a higher proof, more concentrated blend of three separate distillations of different kinds of orange peels in neutral spirit. Triple sec is usually made from a spirit derived from sugar beet (used because of its neutral flavor) in which orange peel is steeped, the oranges having been harvested when their skin was still green and they had not fully ripened, so the essential oils remained in the skin rather than the flesh of the fruit. The spirit is redistilled and mixed with more neutral spirit, water, and powdered beet sugar resulting in the final liqueur. This process creates a spirit that has a very strong and distinct orange flavor.
