To Christopher Bellingham; quite simply, yes Disaronno is an amaretto. Amaretto does not pertain to almond or apricot kernel, it just means a little bitter.
As per Cointreau and triple-sec, Disaronno dropping amaretto from their label was purely their own marketing decision. It helps them stand out as being a unique liqueur rather than just another amaretto.
I had read that there was a labelling issue with Disaronno that was brought up in the late Nineties/early Noughties, something to do with them not using almond extract in their production process. So they had to rebrand, hence the 'amaretto-flavoured' description rather than just calling it an amaretto. I know you do a lot of work with Disaronno so could you clarify this please.
