The Luxardo Distillery is among the oldest European liqueur distilleries and is proud to hang on to seven generations of tradition. Sambuca is flavoured with essential oils and other flowers. It is an example of a shooter and commonly bottled at 42% ABV. It is produced by the infusion of licorice, sweetened with sugar and enhanced with a secret combination of herbs and spices. Meletti Sambuca is based on a traditional homemade anise distillate that uses green anise essential oil combined with local herbs, elderflower, and liquorice. Sugar is added to the distillate to create a syrup concentrate added to pure grain alcohol.
