Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Rich almond extract and marzipan dominate, backed by subtle cherry and apricot notes. A hint of vanilla and warm caramel adds depth. Faint whiffs of toasted nuts and black tea leaves round out the aroma.

Palate: Smooth and velvety texture with a gentle sweetness. Toasted almond and marzipan flavors take center stage, complemented by dark cherry, apricot, and peach stone fruit notes. Subtle vanilla and caramel undertones provide balance. A surprising touch of lemon zest and black tea tannins add complexity.

Finish: Medium-long and pleasantly warm. The almond flavor lingers, gradually fading to reveal hints of madeira wine and Battenberg cake. A subtle bitter almond note emerges, balanced by residual sweetness and a final whisper of lemon zest.

Luxardo Amaretto di Saschira is crafted using the essential oils extracted from cherry, peach, and apricot pits, rather than almonds, to create its distinctive almond-like flavor. This unique production method, which harnesses the natural compounds found in fruit stones, results in a well-rounded liqueur with a fragrant aroma and subtle vanilla notes that set it apart from traditional amarettos.

Unlike many amarettos that use almonds, Luxardo Amaretto di Saschira gets its distinct almond flavor from an unexpected source - the pits of cherries, peaches, and apricots. This unique blend of stone fruit kernels creates a more complex and nuanced almond taste than traditional recipes.

The "Saschira" in the name pays homage to a legendary 18th-century Dalmatian beauty named Saschira, who allegedly shared her secret family recipe with the Luxardo family. This romantic origin story adds a touch of mystery and allure to every sip.

Luxardo Amaretto di Saschira is incredibly versatile in the kitchen. Beyond cocktails, it can elevate desserts like tiramisu, be used to flambe fruits, or even add depth to savory dishes like chicken marsala - making it a secret weapon for both bartenders and chefs alike.
