Bepi Tosolini Saliza Amaretto (75cl, 28%)

Saliza is an Italian amaretto from Distilleria Bepi Tosolini in Friuli, made from real Italian almonds. The almonds are hand-ground and infused for nearly fifteen days, then distilled in the family's 1955 botanical stills and blended with a twenty-year-old brandy. It is named after Venice's Salizada del Pignatter. The liquid is intensely almond, full-bodied and silky, with warm honey and candied-apricot notes. On the nose there are freshly ground almond and toffee; the palate is refined with warm honey and candied-apricot notes, a light almond bitterness, and a long finish reminiscent of caramelized walnuts.
