Aphro Palm Spirit 'The Moor' 750mL

GHANA : GREATER ACCRA

ORGANIC : Palm sap infused with ginger, Hwentia pepper, honey

MED-BODIED, FRESH GINGER, WEST AFRICAN SPICE, HWENTIA PEPPER, HONEY-LEMON

Palm spirit is tapped, not farmed: a cut into the trunk of a mature date or coconut palm, sap collected and fermented, then distilled. Ghanaians call it akpeteshie, and it was banned under British colonial rule to protect imported spirits before independence brought it back as the national pour.

Aphro triple distills its base in Accra, then takes The Moor savory — ginger, West African honey, and Hwentia, the smoky pepper pod that flavors Ghanaian soups and teas. No barrel, no age statement. Bartender Spirits Awards 2024 Bronze, 78 pts.

Serve it cold with a squeeze of lime. It sits close enough to a Penicillin in bottled form that any bar with a ginger-and-honey drink can use it tomorrow, and poured next to the sibling bottling, The Nubi, it tastes like a different spirit entirely.
