2021 is a very important date for Luxardo as it marks our 200th Anniversary. To celebrate the gratifying milestone of two centuries of history, the company is now putting back on the market, in a strictly limited edition, the most prestigious product in its range, Maraschino Perla Dry. This Maraschino Luxardo Riserva Speciale was last produced in the distant 1970s. Maraschino Perla Dry has a high alcohol content (40% alc./vol.), a considerably reduced sugar content (hence the term“dry”), and a marasca cherry distillate base more than 50 years old.
Maraschino Perla Dry Luxardo is marketed in a limited quantity (4.999 numbered bottles) and can be recognized by a restyled original Liberty label and a prestigious gift box, which recalls the customs of high society in the late 19th century.
Tasting Notes:
- Color: crystal clear
- Nose: Kirsch eau-de-vie like with strong alcohol spirit (surprisingly so for its abv) with roasted nuttiness and faint smoke.
- Palate: intense, thick and syrupy with sweetness partially offset by fruit tartness. Very strong flavored – concentrated cherry juice and cherry jam with black pepper spice.
Flask-shaped bottle in antique blue glass with 200 years logo decoration in relief on the neck, hand-wrapped in straw and red capsule, which recalls the first edition of the early 1900s. Liberty label. Eco-leather single gift box containing a booklet on the history of the company and a 200th anniversary pin. Such giftbox comes in a protective casing of fabric bearing the frieze of the 200 years.
