Lazzaroni 1851 Amaretto Liqueur

Lazzaroni 1851 Amaretto is the authentic Italian amaretto made in Saronno by Paolo Lazzaroni & Figli since 1851. Its unique recipe is based on an infusion of the family's famous Amaretti del Chiostro di Saronno biscuits, made from sugar, apricot kernels and egg white, which are crumbled, macerated in alcohol, filtered and blended with a cocoa distillate and other secret elements before bottling. Coppery in colour, it shows almond paste, apricot kernel and dried fruit with hints of star anise, then a smooth, full body of toasted almond and marzipan. 24% ABV. 700ml.
