Shadow is not the only mood Transylvania's legend offers. This apricot liqueur is proof, sun rather than moonlight, sweetness rather than mystery, though it belongs to the same Bransylvania mythology as its darker siblings.

One of the five mystical potions in the Vampire's Fears collection, it is golden in colour and bottled in the familiar 500ml Fears design, opening with warm, ripe apricot and settling into a round, velvety character with a lingering finish. It is the range's most approachable expression, without losing its Romanian roots.

For those newer to the legend, this is often where the story begins.
