Senior & Co. — Curaçao Liqueur (Landhuis Chobolobo)

Senior's Curaçao liqueur is made on Curaçao, and Landhuis Chobolobo in Willemstad is the place to see the distillery associated with it. The nineteenth-century country house provides a setting for learning about the production process rather than just buying a bottle from a general souvenir counter. Dried bitter peel from the island's laraha orange is central to the liqueur, which the producer says is distilled using a copper still dating from 1896. The range is broader than blue Curaçao alone, with other colours and speciality flavours available through the brand. At Chobolobo, visitors can book a guided tour and taste samples, while a separate cocktail workshop explores how the liqueur is used in drinks. The venue also lists a gift store and a cocktail bar. Select the activity before travelling, since an ordinary visit is not necessarily the same booking as a workshop. For a bottle to take home, compare the labelled style and strength rather than choosing by colour alone.
