Vecchio Magazzino Doganale Abracadabra Liquirizia Liqueur (50cl)

Abracadabra is a liquorice liqueur from Vecchio Magazzino Doganale. Its story goes back to early barter at the old customs warehouse, where Giocondo would swap farming tools for liquorice roots. The botanical garden at Martorano still has plenty of liquorice, which led Ivano to make a liqueur that recalls those exchanges. The roots are boiled in the traditional way to break down the fibres, then pressed. Separately, chopped roots are infused in alcohol, and the two are brought together. It keeps a natural colour. The nose is enveloping and points straight to liquorice root, and the palate is dense and coating, with liquorice leading throughout.
