From the monks' stomach remedy to Catalonia's pride - Aromes del Montserrat carries a recipe that has lived on Montserrat mountain for generations and still tastes of the twelve herbs picked locally.
Ekspertens beskrivelse
Aromes del Montserrat Gran Licor is a Spanish herbal liqueur that, according to tradition, was originally developed by the Benedictine monks at Montserrat Monastery near Barcelona, bottled at 31% ABV.
The liqueur was originally made as a stomach remedy for private use among the monks, but has today become a commercial and popular Spanish speciality. The recipe is built on more than 12 different herbs and spices, including mint, cinnamon, aniseed and nutmeg from the Montserrat massif, though the full recipe remains a secret held by the producer.
