Romana Black Sambuca (75cl, 40%)

Romana Black Sambuca is a black sambuca, an anise liqueur from Rome, produced by the Pallini family since 1875. It is made from a neutral grain spirit base infused with star anise, elderberries and aromatic herbs and spices, with its dark colour coming from elderberry juice. The liqueur has a thick, syrupy body with bold anise flavour, dark chocolate and espresso notes, and subtle floral and dark-fruit tones from the elderberry. It finishes long and warming, with licorice fading to caramel and toasted almond. Serve neat in a small glass or over crushed ice.
