Beltion Anisetta Liqueur (700ml)
The Beltion brand was born after the second world war when Giacomo Gianandrea began selling his production of almond milk. The name (and the milk) soon became popular throughout Southern Italy. Fast forward to 1995, when his children set up a modern operation with a view to extend the brand to a wider range of cordials and spirits from the classic Italian repertoire. These include Sambuca, Anice, Amaro and an unusual expression of a liqueur standard, 'Opera Beltion White Amaretto'.
Tasting note: Crystal clear and slightly viscous in appearance. Offers attractive, lifted scents of fresh star anise and liquorice strap. Light to medium bodied, silky textured and with restrained sweetness, the palate repeats the bouquet. Finish is creamy and balanced fading with moderate persistence. 24% Alc./Vol.
