Description
One of the few apricot-based liqueurs in the world, Luxardo Apricot is an infusion of apricots aged in oak for three months before bottling. Apricot Luxardo first gained distinction winning the first prize in a competition for the most innovative new Italian liqueur, which was held in Rome in 1935. This is why the label states "Liquore della Lupa," with Lupa being the symbol of Rome. Certified Kosher.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: First sniffs detect delicate apricot aroma, partially peel; after some minutes of aeration the profile turns gently sweet and more herbal than fruity or ripe.
Palate: Entry is bittersweet, mid-palate highlights ripe apricots. The aftertaste is pleasantly sweet, woody and raisinous.
Finish: It turns a little syrupy in the finish
