LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

The gold standard for nut-flavored liqueurs. It is unabashedly sweet but possesses a technical depth of flavor that makes it a mandatory component of a complete home bar.

The Library Note

Legend has it that in 1525, an artist (Bernardino Luini) was painting a fresco in Saronno and used a local widow as his model for the Madonna. As a gift, she gave him a flask of fragrant, amber liqueur made from apricot pits soaked in brandy. That secret family recipe has been passed down for centuries as Disaronno.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Intense amaretto (almond), marzipan, and vanilla with a hint of toasted cherry pit.

THE PALATE

Rich and velvety with honeyed sweetness, dominant almond flavors, and a complex herbal spice.

THE FINISH

Long, sweet, and comforting.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

The 'Amaretto Sour': 2 oz Disaronno, 1 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz egg white, and a dash of Angostura bitters. The lemon's acidity is the perfect foil for the liqueur's dense sweetness.
