Star anise distillate forms the backbone of this award-winning digestif, built on a traditional 1868 recipe that layers in seventeen botanicals including cinnamon, fennel, wormwood and iris. Gentle liquorice and clementine perfumes carry through the palate, finishing with balanced sweetness and lingering aniseed, traditionally served con la mosca with three coffee beans or flambeed for a theatrical after-dinner ritual.
