I formulated Voyant to be different - I spent 15 years doing flavor development for the alcohol industry and my flavors are in some large brands currently in the market - I hate to admit it, but I am responsible for quite a bit of the flavored Vodkas & Rums out there.

I got upset that the alcohol industry was merely putting out flavor extensions. That and the fact that my wife is a huge Chai drinker compelled me to try and formulate a Chai liqueur. Voyant is the result of over a year of trial and error. The thought process was to use the real spices and tea and to use the highest quality alcohol so that you do not get the annoying alcohol burn you get with most liqueurs.

I happen to be partial to aged rum and the lovely people at the same company that makes Cruzan gave me a rum that was second to none. Now that I had the rum, spices and tea, I worked on the cream base as this was an essential part of the product. Most (OK - ALL) cream liqueurs are so thick that you need to drink them with a fork & knife. I made Voyant light so that it could be enjoyed all year round.
