Drioli Maraschino 1970s (47cl, 28.5%)

A 1970s bottling of Drioli Maraschino liqueur, at 28.5% ABV in a 47cl bottle. Maraschino liqueur is made from Marasca cherries grown along the Dalmatian coast in Croatia. Francesco Drioli founded his company in 1759, and the traditional square green bottles were originally produced by Murano, with straw coverings introduced to protect them in transit. Drioli supplied Royal Households throughout Europe. English King George IV rerouted the Royal yacht to stop at Drioli and stock up on the liqueur on his voyage home.
