Tasting notes

Magdala is a Mediterranean orange liqueur made by steeping orange peel in grape brandy that is carefully distilled in small batches at the Torres distillery in the Penedès (Barcelona). Ageing in old oak casks produces an aromatic elixir, silky in texture and exceptionally elegant. The recipe for this smooth, exquisite liqueur remains a well-kept secret to this day, closely guarded by our master distiller. Pale amber colour. Intense and complex aroma. Notes of orange blossom and bitter orange, as well as aromatic herbs. On the palate it has a silky texture, with citrus nuances that give it a persistent and elegant character.macerated with oranges.  Born from the most exquisite brandy and the essence of oranges, Magdala is the expression of the intense flavour and freshness of the Mediterranean. In the Torres cellars, the brandy is macerated with bitter orange peels and after a long aging in barrels, an aromatic elixir is obtained, with a delicately smooth body and exceptional nobility
