When you are told some juicy gossip and you're sworn to secrecy, how long does it take you to crack? Well, if it's anything less than 500 years, you can't stand up to Disaronno Originale Amaretto. First produced in 1525, Disaronno's legendary recipe under wraps, and only a few people know what goes into each batch. What's even more amazing is that this sweet, tasty liqueur remained relatively unknown until an export boom in the 1960s. Since that time, drinkers from all over the world have been overwhelmed by the smooth caramel and almond notes that make Disaronno the world's most popular amaretto liqueur. One of the best features of Disaronno Originale Amaretto is that it's amazingly versatile. At 28 percent ABV, it's smooth enough to drink neat or on the rocks, but it's also a mouthwatering mixer in drinks like an amaretto sour.
