Review: Amaretto di Saschira (Luxardo)

Posted by Arctic Wolf on February 8, 2014

Luxardo AmarettoLuxardo S.P.A. was founded in 1821 in Zara, a port city on the Dalmatian coast of what is now the Republic of Croatia. At the conclusion of World War II and as a consequence of the borders within Europe having been redrawn, the company transferred its holdings to Torreglia in 1947, and has remained an Italian Company, 100% controlled by the founding family.

Amaretto di Saschira is the Company’s almond based liqueur, and according to Global Export ManagerMatteo Luxardo, whom I met in Edmonton about 16 months ago, this Amaretto is produced using natural ingredients which include real almonds for flavouring. Matteo indicated the liqueur will be slightly drier than other Amaretto brands featuring the well-rounded taste of both natural almonds and vanilla. The spirit is bottled at 28 % alcohol by volume and packaged in an elegant bottle created by German designer Ady Ferner.

Review: Amaretto di Saschira (Luxardo)

“… The nose is sweet and inviting with a strong likeness to marzipan (a mixture of crushed almonds and powdered sugar), and with a very noticeable vanilla overtone. I also sense hints of orange peel, and an underlying earthiness which reminds me of crushed apple seeds …”

Please enjoy the review which includes a great recipe which combines an aged oaky rum with Amaretto di Saschira. This is an original cocktail which was created by my good friend, forrest, (who has a wonderful site called “a drink with forrest“)  and myself in one of our many recipe collaborations.

Cheers everyone!
