How do you drink Scuppoz Amaretto 592?
Scuppoz Amaretto 592 shines when sipped neat or over ice, allowing its nutty complexity to unfold, but it also adds depth to creamy cocktails or fruit-forward mixed drinks; enjoy it year-round, though its warm almond notes make it particularly comforting in cooler months, and pair it with desserts like tiramisu or almond biscotti for a delightful after-dinner treat.
Nose: Rich almond aroma with hints of toasted marzipan and vanilla. Subtle notes of caramel and a faint whisper of cherry add complexity.
Palate: Smooth and well-balanced, the initial sweetness gives way to a pleasant nuttiness. Toasted almond flavors mingle with caramelized sugar, creating a harmonious blend. A touch of bitterness emerges, reminiscent of dark chocolate, providing depth without overwhelming.
Finish: Medium-long finish with lingering notes of almond and caramel. The sweetness gradually fades, leaving a subtle warmth and a gentle, nutty bitterness that invites another sip. Clean and refreshing, without the cloying aftertaste sometimes found in sweeter amarettos.
Scuppoz Amaretto 592 is crafted by distilling toasted almonds and sweetening the resulting spirit with cane sugar, then adding a touch of caramelized sugar for color. This artisanal process, carried out in small batches at the Scuppoz laboratory in Abruzzo, allows for precise control over the balance of nutty bitterness and caramel sweetness that defines this unique amaretto.
