Tasting notes. Sight, smell and taste

Amaretto has a classic brown amber color with bright red highlights.

The aroma is intense, deep, persistent and sweet with the background smell of bitter almonds.

It is a soft and pleasant liquor to drink in spite of its high percentage of alcohol, which ranges from 20% to 30%, since its assembly is perfect and the flavor of vanilla and bitter almond predominates.

A little bit of history about Barbero Amaretto...

The origin of the Italian liquor amaretto dates back to the sixteenth century in the town of Saronno near Milan, which gives the name to the drink, also known as apricot in some countries, as it is one of its main ingredients along with almonds and the essence of seventeen plants and aromatic fruits.

At the beginning of this liqueur, it was very common for families to make their own homemade liqueur, which is why the recipes for amaretto were kept secret for generations, and it was not until many years later that several of them began to come to light.

Today it is one of the most popular Italian products outside the country's borders, so popular that the name is not even translated outside Italy and remains unchanged in all languages.
