Disaronno Originale Amaretto Liqueur

Nearly 500 Years of Italian Amaretto Mastery

Disaronno Originale traces its origins to 1525 in Saronno, Italy, where a local artist commissioned a portrait of the Madonna and was gifted a bottle of amber liqueur by his model as a token of gratitude. That recipe — refined over centuries — is the foundation of the world's most famous amaretto. Made without a single almond, Disaronno achieves its characteristic marzipan flavor through a proprietary blend of apricot kernel oil and seventeen selected herbs and fruits, creating a smooth, complex liqueur that has become a global icon.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Sweet and inviting. Marzipan, vanilla, and a warm apricot character with subtle caramel undertones.
• Palate: Smooth and velvety. Almond-like sweetness leads with rich vanilla, caramel, and a gentle complexity from the apricot kernel base. Never cloying — always elegant.
• Finish: Long and warm. Marzipan and vanilla linger with a satisfying sweetness that fades gracefully.
