PR Marty Romin Brandy Essence 20 ml

PR Marty Romin Brandy Essence 20 ml

Not every brandy has to be heavy, dark and serious. Marty Romin belongs to the lighter school – the one where the fruit is allowed to sing and the oak merely keeps time in the background. The result is a brandy with a silky manner, the kind that even people who usually find brown spirits too forceful tend to fall for at the very first taste.

It is also an unusually versatile bottle. It is excellent in a balloon glass after a meal, yet its mildness also makes it a rewarding cocktail base that never tramples over other flavours. And it has a party trick all of its own: paired with cold chocolate milk it becomes a grown-up dessert in a glass that surprises every single time.

Colour & Appearance

The finished drink takes on a clear, golden-brown hue – lighter than many other brandies, like dark honey with a coppery shimmer. In the glass it looks light and lively, and the colour hints at fruit rather than weight.

Nose

The nose is what first sets Marty Romin apart. Ripe apricot and sun-warmed peach step forward at once, followed by a distinct floral note of violet and a little iris. Beneath the fruit lie vanilla, a touch of liquorice root and soft oak that gives warmth without taking over. A perfumed, elegant nose.

Palate

The palate is smooth and fruit-driven. Peaches in syrup, apricot and yellow plums fill the mouth, and the violet note from the nose follows along as a fine floral thread. The vanilla gives roundness, the liquorice a faintly spicy sweetness, and the oak a discreet grip at the end that stops the drink from becoming cloying. The warmth of the spirit feels mild and kind – there is no harshness here, only a soft, velvety mouthfeel.

Finish

The finish is medium in length, clean and fruity. Apricot and vanilla fade out together with a streak of liquorice and one last waft of violet. What remains is a pleasant, gentle warmth.

How to Use

The essence is mixed with vodka or neutral spirit. 20 ml makes 750 ml of finished spirit drink, ready to serve immediately. Instructions are on the label.

Serving Suggestions

• Neat in a balloon glass or over one large ice cube, ideally alongside a fruity dessert.
• With cold chocolate milk and ice – creamy, smooth and surprisingly good.
• With ginger ale or lemon soda and a slice of peach in the glass.
• In a Sidecar with orange liqueur and lemon, where its mildness comes into its own.
• Topped with sparkling wine and a sugar cube as an elegant aperitif.
