Luxardo Maraschino is aged for two years in white Finnish ashwood vats before being put in bottles encased in hand-plaited straw - originally to make transportation...
I plan to look for Luxardo every time I go into a bar, and when I find it, I'll taste it. I saw it in so many recipes that I bought a bottle. I think it's nasty. My wife thinks it's disgusting. So I keep wondering if I might possibly have gotten a bad bottle. But I'm not going to invest in a second one to find out!
unique flavor profile, i can sip this while watching a movie !
was def. expecting luxardo cherries taste but none the less delightful, should hold it self very well on any cocktail.
I was surprised by the flavor of this. I had expected some variation of standard maraschino cherry that you get from the jars at a grocery store. I don't detect that flavor at all - instead it's lychee that jumps out at me, and perhaps a bit of almond. It's also quite a bit stronger than I would have anticipated.
This isn't something that I'd drink on its own, but I bought it with the intention to use it as a mixer. It adds a noticeable flourish to drinks like Archibald's Last Memory.
I love cherries/almonds and I don’t seem to be able to taste any of the notes suggested, it tastes like a vodka syrup. I bought this elsewhere online. Would I have a “fake” one?
