Verdict: Caravella delivered strong lemon and impressively balanced heat for its proof, but chemical off-flavors kept the reviewed bottle from tasting like good limoncello.

The color has a very greenish hue, almost as though it has as much lime as lemon in it. It also has a very Pledge-like scent. The flavor has a nice wallop of lemon and a kick of heat that is nicely balanced, not overpowering. This is a nice trick because Caravella is the second strongest limoncello I reviewed at 32% (64 proof).
A pleasant candy or gumdrop character rounds out the flavor. However, there are lots of off flavors as well. It tastes like they didn’t do a good job of filtering the liquor before infusion. The result is a limoncello that could have been good but ends up not tasting much like limoncello should.

I have bought my first and last bottle. I find it to be too strong. Reminds of a cough syrup. I just ruined a great drink of Absolut Citron!
