Dimmi Liquore di Milano (75cl, 35%)

Dimmi Liquore di Milano is an Italian botanical liqueur at 35% ABV, built on soft winter wheat spirits with a touch of Grappa di Barolo. Its recipe draws on a 1930s Milanese formula and is produced under the Sazerac portfolio. The base spirit is distilled from soft winter wheat, then infused twice with a proprietary blend of botanicals and blossoms, including apricot and peach flowers. A measured addition of Grappa di Barolo adds vinous depth and texture. The nose opens with zesty orange peel and lemon, then anise, sage, wormwood-like herbaceousness, lemongrass, ginseng root and white flowers. The palate brings citrus zest, grapefruit, bitter orange, vanilla-custard richness, herbal and floral notes, rhubarb tartness and earthy root flavors. The finish is long and smooth, with cinnamon, anise, citrus peel, earthy bark and a floral echo.
