Antica Sambuca Black With Liquorice – A Contemporary Twist on Italian Craftsmanship

Unveiling the Fusion: Liquorice and Anise Distillate

Experience the modern allure of Antica Sambuca Black with Liquorice flavour. A striking blend of traditional Italian Sambuca craftsmanship and the bold, spicy essence of black liquorice roots. The journey begins with a lavish infusion of liquorice, complemented by nearly 10% of anise distillate. The result is an exceptional liqueur boasting a purplish-black hue and a captivating interplay of intense anise and velvety liquorice notes.

Crafted Excellence: Meticulous Ingredients and Artisanal Techniques

The excellence of Antica Sambuca is rooted in the meticulous fusion of premium ingredients and time-honored artisanal processes. Its core components include anise stars, a harmonious blend of 17 herbs and spices, alcohol derived from sugar beet molasses, water, and sugar. The star anise fruits, enriched with anethole oil through steam distillation, impart the distinctive Sambuca flavor. Additional spices such as wormwood, cinnamon, fennel, white pepper, iris, bitter orange, sweet orange, and coriander contribute to the complex anise distillate.

Key Elements: Alcohol, Water, and Sugar

Alcohol, a pivotal element in Antica Sambuca, is meticulously distilled from sugar beet molasses. Equally significant is water, not only adjusting the spirit’s alcohol content but also extracting aromatic essences from the herbs and spices in solution. The final touch comes from high-quality sucrose extracted from sugar beets. Therefore ensuring a colorless, crystalline end product – an essential hallmark of a premium spirit.

The Distillation Artistry: Preserving Aromatic Richness

At the heart of Antica Sambuca lies the meticulous preparation of the anise distillate. The process involves distilling an infusion of star anise and a blend of 17 herbs and spices using a copper still dating back to the late 1940s, featuring a bain-marie system. This method ensures a uniform temperature throughout the chamber. Thus preserving the integrity of the product and safeguarding all distilled aromatic substances.

Crystal-Clear Intensity: The Culmination of Distillation

Following distillation, the result is a crystal-clear, intensely flavored liquid with an alcohol strength of approximately 70% abv. To achieve the perfect balance, the distilled concoction is masterfully blended with a syrup of sugar and water, culminating in a final alcoholic content of 38% vol.

Antica Sambuca Black With Liquorice is more than a liqueur. It’s an exquisite symphony of flavors, a testament to Italian craftsmanship that transcends tradition with a contemporary twist. Revel in its boldness, savor its complexity. A libation that stands as a true embodiment of the Italian art of Sambuca-making.
