Clear. Anise and gentle floral scents. Velvety smooth on the palate with subtle and enticing flavors of anise.

Star Anise, anice stellato, gives the fresh black licorice flavor in this classic Sambuca. Serve neat after dinner or pour a few drops over blackberries with vanilla ice cream.

Made from the essential oils from star-anise seeds, this clear and bright digestif smells and tastes like Good & Plenty licorice candies. Viscous and tongue coating. Stir into coffee or sip straight up, well chilled.

Points
Rich star anise nose; creamy and thick with sweet anise and vanilla undertones; rich, intense, unctuous and pure with a long sweet flavor that coats the tongue and lasts for a long time; exquisite with some heat and bite on the finish; gorgeous; umami in action.
