Luxardo Amaretto di Saschira

Luxardo's amaretto, where the almond character comes from the essential oils in the pits of cherries, peaches and apricots rather than from almonds themselves.

Burnished copper in the glass, with a pungent, attractive nose of toasted almond and marzipan. The palate is lightly syrupy, showing macaroon, toasted bitter almond, black tea tannins and zesty lemon, and finishes long on marzipan with a lingering burnt-toast bitterness. Made for an Amaretto Sour, and equally good in a Godfather.
