Description
Marcotte Magnificent Mango is a fruit-flavored moonshine from Marcotte Distilling Company. This small-batch family distillery works out of Philomath, Oregon. Marcotte keeps the proof low and puts the focus on flavor. This bottle sits at 50 proof, or 25% ABV.
Pour a glass and the mango shows up first. It smells like ripe fruit that is ready to eat. Take a sip and the sweetness stays gentle. The distillery says the notes are sweet but subtle and bring a tropical vacation to mind. The finish is clean and light, so the mango fades softly.
Marcotte calls it a summertime favorite, and it is easy to see why. Add it to your favorite fruity cocktail. Or pair it with something spicy for a sweet and spicy drink. It also plays well with soda, ginger ale or fresh citrus juice.
You do not need a special occasion to open this bottle. It fits backyard get-togethers, casual evenings and slow weekends at home. Serve it chilled or over ice if you want it lighter.
If you like fruit-forward spirits that stay honest and simple, give this one a try. Set it out with spicy snacks, grilled chicken or a tropical dessert.
