The rounded shape and smooth lines of the Di Amore sambuca bottle are reminiscent of the works of medieval masters. Sweet, fragrant, but strong drink intoxicates and makes you dizzy no worse than a magic love potion. Barbero mixologists, designers and marketers from the American company Sazerac had to work hard to bring this Italian fairy tale to life. The liquor has been produced for over 20 years and is exported to the EU countries, Australia, North and South America.
Sambuca Di Amore is a colorless transparent liqueur with a strength of 42%. The sweet anise flavor of the drink is successfully complemented by notes of fennel and a refreshing aftertaste of lemon zest.
Historical reference. When another slave uprising broke out in Haiti in the 30s of the 1838th century, the few surviving French had to leave their native land. Among these poor fellows was the Creole Antoine Pechot. In XNUMX he came to New Orleans and opened a drugstore in the French Quarter.
Monsieur Antoine was a sociable person, and he soon made many friends. At evening gatherings, the apothecary treated friends to a cocktail of his own preparation, consisting of Limoges cognac Sazerac de Forge et Fils, absinthe and bitter bitters. Everyone liked the drink so much that they soon began to offer it to visitors to a nearby coffee shop. Both the cocktail and the establishment were called Sazerac by numerous visitors for short.
The liquor merchant Thomas Handy, who bought the coffee shop in 1869, did not change the name. Subsequently, he took up the production of alcohol. The famous liquor became the main product of Sazerac.
For a century and a half, the company remained a family business. How the company continued to exist during Prohibition, and how, after the ban on absinthe, it made a popular cocktail is a topic for a detective. It should only be noted that the management has always kept pace with the times and tried to capture fashion trends.
In the XNUMXth century, Sazerac became one of the world’s largest alcohol producers. By the end of the century, she owned several famous American distilleries and many brands of cognac, whiskey, tequila. The only thing missing was a sambuca. However, the company’s leaders believed that it was more expedient to produce this liquor in his homeland, in Italy, and not at an American enterprise.
Sazerac partnered with the Italian company Barbero 1891, founded over a hundred years ago. This company has an excellent reputation, and the strictest quality control system for products has been introduced at the plant.
In 1995, Barbero specialists created a recipe for a new sambuca “Di Amore”. In the manufacture of liquor, no synthetic flavors are used. The drink is poured into thick-walled glass bottles imitating crystal decanters.
