“We almost forgot that original amaretto was made out of almonds. Here the reinterpretation is just shockingly beautiful…” – Whisky Magazine
Don’t expect the sticky and heavy taste of old-school amaretto this is a fresh new generation made entirely in Puglia Italy.
Exclusively launched through Harvey Nichols this limited edition takes amaretto to a whole new gourmet level. Adriatico start with a base of their Roasted Almond Amaretto which is crafted using half the sugar of classic amaretto almonds that are picked by hand and carefully roasted for hours vanilla cinnamon cocoa coffee and a pinch of salt from Margherita di Savoia on the Adriatic Sea. They then age it in Bourbon casks from the legendary Heaven Hill (the distillery behind Elijah Craig Old Fitzgerald Parker’s Heritage Collection Larceny Pikesville Rittenhouse Evan Williams and more) for eight months. This additional maturation layers vanilla desiccated coconut sweet wood and warmth over the notes of toasted nuts sweet almond butter homemade marzipan honeycomb toffee spiced coffee and that delicate hint of cherries (geeky side note: one of the major compounds that make cherries taste the way they do is benzaldehyde which is an almond-like flavour).
This artisan amaretto is drier and far more complex than its rivals; the provenance of the barrels and the ingredients the intricate roasting and that pinch of salt are the epicurean touches of a bartender’s dreams. It’s going to create the most incredible Amaretto Sour French Connection or Godfather cocktails but we’d recommend sipping it neat over ice to revel in the purity of its beauty.
For Jean-Robert Bellanger the dream to create Adriatico began when his Italian mother prepared his favourite dessert tiramisu with a dash of amaretto. So he set out to create 100% natural ingredients amaretto that would showcase the Filippo Cea almonds grown in Puglia. The bottles pay homage to this beautiful area of Italy: the shape is based on the geometry of the stunning Castel del Monte the colour highlights are inspired by the crystal blue waters of the Adriatic Sea and the golden sunshine that bathes the surrounding countryside and there’s even a trullo on there.
