Luxardo Luxardo Amaretto di Saschira NV 750ml

This is a deeper, darker take on amaretto. Look for a bold marzipan scent and rich toffee, brown sugar and almond extract on the viscous palate. Hints of baking spice and burnt orange peel shore up the finish. Sip or mix; the producer suggests mixing with champagne.

Nutbrown color; impeccable clarity. The laser beam-like intensity of the almond aspect is focused, deep, gently candied and even a little fruity; further air contact brings out more of the almond layering. entry is rich, but neither cloying nor syrupy, and the initial taste is of almond paste that's more nutty than sweet or nougat-like; midpalate mirrors the entry and the flavor's richness accelerates as the profile turns ultra-elegant, harmonious, sinewy in texture, completely integrated. Long, definitive finish. For me, the prototypical amaretto.
