Adriatico Amaretto Bianco Liqueur - 500ml - MHD: 07/28

Volume: 0.5 litres | Alcohol content: 16% | Chill filtration: Yes | Colouring: No

Special Features:

Adriatico Bianco gets its milky, creamy character from white almonds rather than dairy products. Filippo Cea almonds from Puglia are crushed and soaked for this purpose. The recipe also includes almond extract. This white amaretto is lactose-free and VEGAN OK-certified.

Alongside its pronounced almond and marzipan character, the liqueur offers a vanilla note and a hint of honey. Its creamy sweetness is balanced by a slight almond bitterness. It can be enjoyed on its own over ice or used in cocktails to add a nutty, creamy element.

This version contains 0.5 litres at 16% alcohol and is offered without gift packaging. The best-before date is July 2028.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Pronounced notes of peeled almonds lead on the nose. They are joined by marzipan, almond butter and an aroma reminiscent of airy toffee confectionery.
• Palate: On the palate, the liqueur is creamy and recalls sweet almond milk. Slightly bitter almonds provide a counterpoint to the sweetness, while notes of airy toffee confectionery complement the flavours.
• Finish: Creamy notes of roasted almonds and sweet almond milk linger on the finish. A slight bitterness accompanies the aftertaste.

Distillery/Bottler:

Jean-Robert Bellanger is the person behind Adriatico. The idea for the brand came from his Italian mother's tiramisu, which she prepared with a little amaretto. Adriatico focuses on almonds from Puglia and produces its liqueurs in this southern Italian region. Bianco is made in Putignano and complements the roasted-almond amaretto with a white version based on crushed almonds. The brand belongs to Bellaventura S.A.

The bottle design also draws on Puglia: the logo incorporates the traditional trulli, the stone houses characteristic of the region. The bottle's shape was inspired by the medieval architecture of Castel del Monte.
