Description

24% ABV / 500mL

We've been big fans of Amaretto and its marzipan flavour since as far back as we can remember. But it was a shame not to be able to buy a locally made one, so we decided to take matters into our own hands and make the first Australian-made Amaretto.

This is a stripped down version of the classic Italian Amaretto, but with an Australian twist. To make it, we smash apart Australian grown bitter almonds (a by-product of the apricot industry), cook and infuse them in spirit for weeks. This is where we get that big bold marzipan flavour that we love so much. Then we add a pinch of wild Strawberry Gum leaves, harvested from outback NSW, which adds an extra floral boost.

Contains precisely 0.0% artificial colours, flavours and preservatives. Vegan friendly (we don't use any animal products nor processes throughout). Gluten free.

Tasting notes

On the nose you'll detect thick marzipan notes but also a smattering of floral and herbal aromas, thanks in part to the addition of Strawberry Gum. A quick swirl opens it up further.

On the palate you'll be greeted with an explosion of marzipan flavour thanks to a generous infusion of bitter almonds. It's thick, decadent and syrup-like with a healthy dose of sweetness.

On the finish, you'll experience a long drawn-out ending with brown sugar playing a key role in the length. Its flavours will dance around on your tongue like a house party into the wee hours of the morning.

Recycled bottles

All of our liqueurs, including Naked Amaretto, are bottled in recycled glass spirit bottles where possible. Between our lovely network of bars who help collect empty spirit bottles for us and the empty bottles that get spat out of our own tasting flight production line, we've managed to build up a locally sustainable supply of bottles. These bottles are given a "rough massage" to strip the labels off, then a hardcore hot rinse and a final polish up before being revived with a new liqueur filled life.

not too sweet, unique subtle flavour

this review is going to sound weird. i tend to drink amaretto because honestly it makes me trip a bit and gives me very vivid dreams. however, some brands don’t do this and its either because they aren’t made with almonds or perhaps have low almond content or low quality of the almonds. they also tend to be the brands that are sickly sweet. naked amaretto has a unique taste, isn’t sickly sweet like most….and gives me that bit of a trip i’m after (disclaimer: this doesn’t mean amaretto affects others this way, but it does have this affect on me).
