Wenneker Amaretto alc/vol: 28% Volume: 700ml This delicious Italian liqueur has a fascinating story about how the recipe came about. In 1525 Bernardino Luini was requested to paint a fresco of the Madonna by the Santa Maria delle Grazie in Saronno. Bernardino needed a model and after a long search he found a waitress that had the looks he wanted. He spent weeks with the girl and during that time she fell in love with Bernardino. The girl made a sweet liqueur with the taste of almond to give to her lover. The recipe in this Wenneker Amaretto is an old Italian family's treasured possession, based closely the girl's recipe back in the 1500s. All the same ingredients are in Wenneker Amaretto - almonds, Caramelised sugar and 17 herbs and fruits that are sprinkled with apricot-kernel oil before distillation using the age old family methods, which of course is a closely guarded secret. The full Flavours of almonds, with caramel and herbs combine beautifully to make this Wenneker Amaretto among the best. The strength of flavour lasts from the first sip to the swallow. The balanced flavour of fruit and almond fill the mouth and finish with a delicious bitter-sweet flavour that makes every Amaretto lover simply want more! This is an excellent example of a true Amaretto.
