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 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.
