Luxardo Limoncello Liqueur Italy 70 cl 27%

There is something about the sun-yellow colour and the intense citrus aroma that instantly transports the mind to Italy's southern coastlines - and Luxardo has distilled exactly that feeling into a bottle of limoncello.

Ekspertens beskrivelse

Luxardo's Limoncello is an Italian lemon liqueur at 27% ABV, produced by Luxardo in Torreglia from lemon peel.

Luxardo has produced liqueurs since 1821 and is today run by the sixth generation of the family from the distillery in Torreglia. This limoncello is made by steeping the peel of sun-ripened lemons in alcohol, so the aromatic oils in the peel give the liqueur its intense, fresh citrus character, before it is sweetened to a round, balanced flavour.

Smag

The nose is intense and fresh with clear lemon peel and a lightly sweet citrus note. The palate is clear and lively with a fresh acidity up front that glides into a soft sweetness and finishes clean with a lingering citrus aroma.

Traditional limoncello is stored in the freezer, as it doesn't freeze despite its relatively low ABV - this makes it extra viscous and ice-cold when served, enhancing the refreshing experience.
