Old St. Croix Non Plus Ultra – Ambre d’Or Excellence 70 cl. 42%

Non Plus Ultra means “nothing beyond this” — a Latin phrase that, according to legend, marked the boundary between the known and the unknown world. Our ultra-premium range is created for connoisseurs in search of the outermost edge of the sublime. Old St. Croix Non Plus Ultra – Ambre d’Or Excellence is the most elegant expression in the series—named for its amber-golden glow and inspired by the French tradition of sweet dessert wines. The blends are matured in oak barrels that previously held these wines, adding a silky sweetness and layer upon layer of refined complexity.

Tasting notes are not an ingredient list, but a subjective description of flavour.

Finish
Flavours of ripe, aromatic stewed plums dominate.

Comment
A premium spirit drink with a name that comes with expectations—Non Plus Ultra is Latin for “Nothing Further Beyond”, referring to the Pillars of Hercules that once marked the end of the known world. There is nothing better out there… and here the boundaries for a spirit drink have been pushed to their absolute limit.
