Over a century of fine distilling and a royal patent issued in 1879 are testaments to the great reputation of Meletti Sambuca. The best anise plants are cultivated from the clay soil of Ascoli Piceno. Careful blending and the use of pure anise flavors elevate Meletti’s Sambuca to a new dimension of elegance and smoothness. Rich and full-flavored, this is a perfect way to end a meal. Serve with coffee or straight-up with three coffee beans for good luck. Meletti Sambuca is one of Italy’s most prized liqueurs.

Sambuca is a licorice-flavored liqueur that derives its flavor from the gentle distillation of the elder bush, known in Latin as "sambucus". The fruit from the elder bush is steeped in alcohol at very cold temperatures. This flavorful mixture is then aged for four months and is cut to proof before bottling. The extended aging is what makes Meletti Sambuca stand head and shoulders above the competition. Sambuca is richer in body than anisette and has an underlying floral character.

Look for a mild licorice aroma with a hint of espresso. Each sip is palate-coating and relatively sweet, reminiscent of Good and Plenty licorice candies, finishing with an assertive hint of spice and alcohol heat that cuts through the sweetness. An easy-sipping dessert pour.
