Luxardo Sambuca

In Dalmatia, Giacomo Luxardo created his first maraschino liqueur from local Marasca cherries in 1821, a recipe that has since survived war, exile and rebuilding. Today Luxardo remains fully family-owned, led by the sixth generation, making it one of the rare spirits houses in the world no corporation has ever touched. Behind every bottle lies two centuries of the same uncompromising approach to Italian craftsmanship.

  • Amber-coloured almond liqueur in a classic bottle
    Item no.: 22227879-556

    Warm marzipan, a touch of vanilla and a softness that unfolds slowly in the glass - Luxardo's Amaretto di Saschira is the kind of liqueur you save for long evenings.

    Ekspertens beskrivelse

    Luxardo's Amaretto di Saschira is an Italian almond liqueur at 28% ABV, produced by Luxardo in Torreglia from an infusion of bitter and sweet almonds.

    Luxardo has produced liqueurs since 1821 and is today run by the sixth generation of the family from Torreglia. Amaretto di Saschira is made by steeping bitter and sweet almonds in alcohol, giving the liqueur a deep, aromatic profile with warm spice and marzipan notes, before it is rounded off with a soft sweetness.

    Smag

    The nose is warm and nutty with clear marzipan, vanilla and a hint of spice. The palate is silky and round with a full almond character that glides into an elegant, lightly dry finish without becoming overwhelmingly sweet.

    The name "Saschira" refers to a location within amaretto tradition, and while many assume amaretto always gets its flavour from apricot kernels, Luxardo's version is a genuine infusion of almonds that gives it its characteristic marzipan note.

  • Sun-yellow limoncello in a slim bottle with a lemon label
    Item no.: 22227879-555

    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.

    Item no.: 22227879-554

    From Dalmatia to Torreglia, the Luxardo family has for two hundred years guarded the secret behind a clear, fragrant liqueur that has become the very cornerstone of countless classic cocktails - Maraschino.

    Ekspertens beskrivelse

    Luxardo's Maraschino is a clear Italian cherry liqueur at 32% ABV, produced by Luxardo in Torreglia from Marasca cherries.

    Luxardo was founded in 1821 by Girolamo Luxardo in Zara on the Dalmatian coast and moved in 1947 to Torreglia in the Euganean Hills, where the family today runs the distillery in its sixth generation. The Maraschino is made by distilling whole Marasca cherries - fruit, stones and leaves - after which the liqueur matures in ash-wood vats before being lightly sweetened and diluted to strength.

    Smag

    The nose is clean and aromatic with notes of cherry, almond and a light herbal dryness. The palate is clear and elegant with a fine balance between fruit sweetness and a dry, lightly bitter stone-fruit note, finishing clean and refreshing without becoming cloying.

About Luxardo Liqueur

Luxardo is one of Italy's most iconic and traditional liqueur houses, a family-owned company that since 1821 has set the standard for authentic, craft-driven spirits. For the newcomer, Luxardo Sambuca is an accessible, aniseed-forward entry into Italian liqueur culture; for the connoisseur, the Luxardo name is synonymous with quality across the entire bartending world, where their cocktail cherries and Maraschino have become standard ingredients in classic cocktails like the Aviation and the Last Word, and where the still fully family-owned house represents a rare authenticity in an industry dominated by major conglomerates.

History & Background

Girolamo Luxardo and his wife Maria Canevari settled in Zara in 1817, and it was Maria who began refining "rosolio maraschino" - a liqueur that had been made in Dalmatian convents since medieval times from special marasca cherries. The quality was so high that Girolamo founded the Luxardo distillery in 1821 to produce her recipe commercially, and the Austrian Emperor later honoured the product as being "of superior quality". During WWII, the original factory in Zara was almost completely destroyed, but a fourth-generation survivor, Giorgio Luxardo, fled to Italy carrying a cherry sapling and rebuilt the company in Torreglia in 1946.

Production & Style

The Maraschino liqueur is still produced today according to Maria Canevari's original 1821 recipe, based on marasca cherries and their pits.

Signature Style

Cherry-Driven, Dry, Complex
The flavour offers a dry, slightly bitter cherry character with almond-like notes from the cherry pits.
