Sasse Miniature Tasting Set Naturtalente 6x20ml. Liqueur sampler set with six natural liqueurs from elderflower to Arabica coffee, 15 to 35% vol.

Sasse Miniature Tasting Set Naturtalente 6x20ml is a liqueur sampler set from the Sasse fine distillery in Schöppingen in the Münsterland region: six 20 ml miniature bottles from the Naturtalente range, from 15 to 35% vol, plus a tasting booklet. No need to buy a large bottle on a whim – six varieties to try, hand-packed in a gift box.

The Naturtalente set by Sasse is a small tasting experience to go. The distillery calls its natural liqueurs "Naturtalente" (natural talents), which are based on their own distillates and selected raw materials. The set contains six of them. Elderflower has 15% vol, Chocolate Mint 28% vol, Cocoa with Nut and Arabica Coffee each have 30% vol. Apricot with Honey and Williams Pear with Honey each reach 35% vol. A 20 ml miniature bottle is enough for a small glass or two tasting sips for two people. It comes with a tasting booklet and tasting notes to guide you through the varieties. Imagine a winter evening, six small glasses lined up, and you taste your way from flower to coffee bean together.

Six varieties ranging from flower, fruit, chocolate, and coffee

Elderflower is the lightest in the set, fruity-tart and floral. Flower pollen may settle at the bottom of the bottle, which the manufacturer explicitly describes as a flavor carrier. Chocolate Mint combines fresh mint with the sweetness of milk chocolate. Cocoa with Nut is a clear liqueur for which cocoa beans and nuts are distilled.

Arabica Coffee is based on espresso made from very heavily roasted Arabica beans and ends with a sweet-tart caramel note. For Apricot with Honey, Sasse processes the fruit fresh in late summer. Williams Pear with Honey brings pear to the set. The range thus spans from floral to fruity to chocolate and roasted aromas.

From light to bold – how to taste your way through

It is best to taste the liqueurs in an order that begins with the lowest alcohol content. Start with the elderflower and gently swirl the bottle before opening. Then follow with Chocolate Mint, Cocoa with Nut, and Arabica Coffee, and finish with the two honey liqueurs. A sip of water between varieties helps. The manufacturer also recommends Arabica Coffee over a scoop of vanilla ice cream or with tiramisu.

The liqueurs have between 15 and 35% vol, so they may only be sold to persons aged 18 and over. Store the set upright, in a cool, dark place.

Our tip: Place the tasting booklet open next to the glasses and note down a word for each variety. You can then get your favorite variety in the large bottle.

Natural liqueurs from a grain distillery, packed by hand

The Sasse fine distillery in Schöppingen has made a name for itself with matured grain spirit (Korn). They also produce liqueurs for which the house uses its own distillates. Sasse speaks of carefully selected raw materials, the refining of which leads to unusual liqueurs. According to the manufacturer, the entire team goes out to harvest from certified organic land two days a year for the elderflower liqueur. Each flower is picked from the umbel individually.

The gift sets are packed by hand at the factory. According to Sasse, the gift box, wrapping paper, and tape are all made from recycled paper.

For liqueur explorers, gifts, and an evening for two

This set is for everyone who likes liqueurs and doesn't want to commit to just one variety right away. As a gift, it is perfect for people who like to try new things, and for an evening for two, it brings conversation to the table. Anyone who has found a favorite variety afterward can find, for example, the Cocoa-Nut Liqueur or the Elderflower Liqueur as a large bottle as well. You can find more bottles under Liqueurs and on our Sasse page. The Cocoa with Nut miniature bottle contains nuts, so the set is not suitable for anyone with a nut allergy. Those expecting creamy milk liqueurs will find them in the Paula Pumpernickel set.
