Tasting Notes

Nose: A sweet and inviting bouquet, heavily dominated by classic amaretto notes of almond extract, marzipan, and cherry pit. Underlying hints of vanilla and a very faint suggestion of toasted oak peek through, providing a surprisingly bourbon-esque foundation beneath the liqueured character.

Palate: The initial sip delivers a powerful wave of sweet almond and maraschino cherry, characteristic of amaretto. This sweetness is rich and syrupy, but not cloying. A subtle warmth from the underlying spirit emerges, bringing notes of creamy vanilla, brown sugar, and a mild, unpronounced spice. The mouthfeel is smooth and velvety.

Finish: A sweet, lingering finish that continues with the amaretto flavors, especially the almond and cherry. A gentle warmth persists, fading gracefully with a faint echo of vanilla and a pleasant, sweet aftertaste. The finish is medium-long and satisfying for a flavored spirit.
