Luxardo Sambuca dei Cesari – 700ml
The Original Italian Classic: Smooth, Intense, and Aromatic.
Experience the authentic and award-winning taste of Luxardo Sambuca dei Cesari, the classic Italian liqueur that has been crafted by the Luxardo family for generations. Presented in its iconic, statuesque bottle, this 700ml of premium Sambuca is a testament to Italian craftsmanship. Renowned for its exceptionally smooth texture and intense, aromatic flavour, it’s the perfect spirit for a traditional after-dinner drink or a bold, celebratory shot.
A Heritage of Quality: The Luxardo family has been producing world-class liqueurs since 1821, and their Sambuca is a cornerstone of their legacy. It is crafted using only the finest ingredients. The essential oils are extracted from star anise through steam distillation, a process that ensures a pure and intense flavour. This is then masterfully blended with a secret combination of herbs and spices, resulting in a liqueur that is both powerful and velvety smooth.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: A sharp, powerful, and unmistakable aroma of sweet star anise and liquorice.
- Palate: A beautifully smooth and velvety palate. The intense, fiery flavour of anise is well-rounded with a gentle sweetness and a complex, spicy character.
- Finish: A long, warming, and satisfyingly smooth finish with a lingering anise aftertaste.
How to Enjoy the Italian Way: In Italy, Sambuca is a cherished digestif, often enjoyed after a meal to aid digestion. For a truly authentic experience that’s perfect for capping off a dinner party here in Halesowen, try serving it ‘Con la Mosca’ (with the fly):
- Pour a measure of Luxardo Sambuca into a small liqueur glass.
- Float three coffee beans on top.
- The beans represent health, wealth, and happiness. You can chew the beans while drinking the Sambuca for an intense, bittersweet flavour combination.
Alternatively, it can be served neat, chilled straight from the freezer for a viscous and intense shot, or added to an espresso to create a ‘Caffè Corretto’. For a night out, it remains a popular and classic shot to get the party started.
