Tasting Notes for Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur:

Aroma: Kirsch eau-de-vie like with strong alcohol spirit (surprisingly given its abv) with roasted nuttiness and faint smoke.

Taste: Silky sweet cherry with dark chocolate, vanilla and a touch of orange marmalade.

Finish: White chocolate and cherry finish.

  • Luxardo Maraschino Originale is still produced according to a special formula created by Girolamo Luxardo in 1821.

    When Luxardo marasca cherries are harvested at the beginning of every summer, they are put in alcoholic infusion in larch-wood vats together with some leaves and branches of the same trees for up to three years. When ready, both the liquid and the solid parts are distilled in traditional copper pot stills, separating the heart from heads and tails. Only the heart of the distillate is then allowed to mature in ash-wood vats for 2 years. The last process consists in transforming the distillate in liqueur by adding a simple syrup of water and sugar lowering the ABV to 32%.

    The tall green bottle with its red cap is still hand-plaited in straw within the company, and resembles the Maraschino bottles produced in Zara in the early days, where the straw was placed in order to prevent damage during transportation. Luxardo Maraschino Originale can be enjoyed in many classic cocktails such as Martinez, Hemingway Daiquiri and Aviation, or neat as an after dinner drink. It is also ideal over fruits such as strawberries, pineapples, oranges etc. or as a flavor in confectionary and ice creams.
