Liqueur Review: Amaretto di Amore

Amaretto di Amore - Amaretto Liqueur

Amaretto di Amore - Amaretto Liqueur

Amaretto di Amore has been around a while and Amaretto itself has history going way back. You have definitely either seen it in a bar or drank it in a cocktail. A 750ml bottle of Amaretto di Amore typically goes for around $12 - $15.

Let's take a sip.

Background:

Amaretto is defined by most sources as an Almond-flavored Liqueur made from either Almond or Apricot pits. Turns out they have a similar flavor.

The origin of Amaretto is in Italy, however there are several brands produced in America and other lands around the world. Amaretto di Amore's label (from my older bottle) says it is produced by the Barton Distilling Company which appears to have been acquired by the Sazerac Company in early 2009.

Visual:

A first glance at the liquid in this bottle and you really get the idea of Almonds. It is a light golden brown with almost a hint of orange to it.
