Bortolo Nardini Mandorla Liqueur is a traditional Italian almond liqueur with a grappa base, known for its balanced, intense flavor profile. Produced by the Nardini distillery, which dates back to 1779, it is described as being both fragrant and dry, with a sweet aftertaste. It is versatile and can be enjoyed neat, in coffee, or as a key ingredient in cocktails.
Aroma: Intense and dry, with notes of almond, pistachio, and maraschino cherry over grape skin fruit.
Taste: Combines a distinct almond flavor with a delicate balance of sweet marzipan and slight notes of tart cherries. Some tasters also detect hints of pistachio and peppery spice.
Balance: The addition of the cherry distillate cuts through and balances the intense, sometimes bitter, almond flavors.
Base: The spirit is grappa-based, which gives it a complex, flavorful character that stands apart from standard almond liqueurs.
Finish: The finish is described as clean, zesty, and nutty, with a long-lingering peppery spice.
