Adriatico Amaretto Roasted Almonds (70cl, 28%)

Adriatico Amaretto Roasted Almonds is an Italian amaretto liqueur from Bellaventura S.A. It is made from roasted Filippo Cea almonds from Apulia, harvested by hand, roasted for several hours, then macerated in alcohol and distilled. Vanilla, cinnamon, cocoa and coffee complement the almond distillate, with a pinch of salt from Margherita di Savoia. It is sweetened with cane sugar and contains about half the sugar of traditional amaretti. The liqueur is vegan certified and comes in a 700ml bottle at 28% alcohol. The nose is dominated by roasted almonds, with marzipan, almond butter and a hint of caramel. The palate combines roasted, slightly bitter almonds with sweet almond butter and airy toffee, plus coffee, cocoa and cinnamon, with a fine salty note. The finish keeps roasted almonds and honeycomb toffee, with subtle roast notes and a light floral accent.
