Luxardo Sambuca Dei Cesari
Luxardo Sambuca Dei Cesari is a classic Italian anise-flavoured liqueur, crafted with centuries of expertise by the Luxardo family distillery. Revered for its purity and intensity, this traditional sambuca is distilled using star anise, elderberries, and a secret blend of herbs and spices, resulting in a spirit that is both timeless and refined. Often served neat with three coffee beans to symbolise health, happiness, and prosperity, it also shines in cocktails or as a flambéed digestif. It pours crystal clear, with a brilliant sheen that reflects its high quality. The aroma is dominated by sweet star anise, layered with subtle floral and herbal notes. On the palate, it is rich and syrupy, delivering a bold liquorice flavour balanced by gentle sweetness and a touch of spice. The finish is smooth and warming, with lingering echoes of anise and a clean, elegant fade.
Ouzo Of Plomari Isidoros Arvanitis
Ouzo of Plomari Isidoros Arvanitis is a traditional Greek ouzo crafted on the island of Lesvos, where the spirit has been produced with the same care and character since 1894. It is made using copper pot distillation and a closely guarded family recipe that blends high‑quality alcohol with a selection of aromatic seeds and herbs, including anise from Lisvori, fennel, star anise, cinnamon, and nutmeg. This combination gives the spirit its distinctive aromatic depth and the smooth, elegant profile that has made it one of Greece’s most respected ouzos. The aroma is fresh and inviting, led by sweet anise and gentle herbal notes that rise softly from the glass. On the palate, it is smooth and well‑rounded, opening with clean aniseed sweetness before developing into subtle layers of spice and soft botanicals. The texture is silky, and when diluted with water or ice, it turns a classic milky white while releasing even more of its delicate aromatics. The finish is long, warm, and balanced, leaving a pleasant echo of anise and spice. Ouzo of Plomari is traditionally enjoyed with food, making it an ideal companion to seafood, olives, grilled vegetables, and meze dishes. It also works beautifully as a leisurely aperitif, whether served neat, over ice, or lengthened with cold water. Its authentic character and refined flavour make it a favourite for those who appreciate spirits with heritage, craftsmanship, and a strong sense of place.
