Sweet and dry with superb floral Violette, vegetal and herbaceous flavours. Almond, spice and plumb notes add complexity with candied cherry as a subtle hint.
The liqueur showcases a crystal clear appearance with a prominent aroma of marasca cherry distillate complemented by undertones of roasted nuttiness. On the palate, it's smooth yet invigorating, delivering hints of dark chocolate, vanilla, and a delightful touch of orange marmalade.
Each bottle is encased in its iconic straw jacket, a homage to early Maraschino bottles from Zara. This hand-plaited straw serves not only as a nod to history but also as protection during transportation, ensuring the bottle reaches you in pristine condition.
Luxardo Maraschino Originale is meticulously produced using an authentic process that spans over four years. Freshly harvested Luxardo marasca cherries undergo an alcoholic infusion in larch-wood vats, followed by a careful distillation in copper pot stills. This distillate, combined with a simple syrup, culminates in this revered liqueur with an ABV of 32%.
Beyond its role in classic cocktails such as the Manhattan and Martinez, Luxardo Maraschino Originale shines when sipped neat post-dinner, drizzled over fruits, or even as a flavorful addition to confectionery and ice creams. Its compatibility with tonic, accented with lemon and cucumber, makes for a refreshing summertime concoction.
Luxardo, with its vast orchards boasting over 30,000 exclusive Marasca cherry trees, continues to uphold its reputation through this liqueur. Every bottle, infused with tradition and craftsmanship, is a testament to the brand's unwavering commitment to quality, making it an essential addition to both professional bars and home enthusiasts' collections.
