Why Gifted Pour recommends it
A bottle that works as hard in the kitchen as it does on the bar cart makes a generous gift, and this amber Italian liqueur from Lombardy is exactly that. Its signature flavor comes from the essence of bitter almonds, set within a carefully guarded blend of herbs and fruits, so the glass opens with fragrant almond, marzipan, honey and apricot. On the palate it is velvety and indulgent, with sweet almond balanced by a gentle bitterness, plus vanilla, candied cherry and a whisper of spice before a long, warming finish of almond and honey. It suits the host who loves an after-dinner pour, the friend who bakes, or anyone who orders an Amaretto Sour without a second thought. Bring it to a housewarming, a holiday dinner or a thank-you visit, and the recipient can sip it neat or over ice with an orange twist, splash it into espresso, or drizzle it over ice cream. It is an easy gift to give and an easier one to use.
