Meletti Anisette 750 ML

Meletti Anisette is one of Italy’s oldest liqueurs produced using Silvio Meletti’s original recipe from 1870. Naturally aromatic, anise seed from Le Marche is distilled in a bain marie, then blended with herbs for further distillation to attain intensified aromatics and a smooth palate. Aged in stainless steel tanks for 4-6 months, then fine filtered using wool, Meletti Anisette is an elegant digestivo that is enjoyable on its own or with coffee. Anisette is clear, smooth, and licorice fl avored with a warming finish. During distillation, Meletti discards the first and last portions of the distillate that contains the elements of bitterness. Th ey keep only the “heart”, or the middle portion, to ensure that the flavors are concentrated and consistent. Once distilled at proof, a second distillation of other spices is added. Theliqueur is then transferred to 10,000 liter tanks for 4 months of aging. Meletti Anisette is the result of slow, evaporative distillation and the quality of the anise (Pimpinella Anisum) that is grown in the clay soil near Ascoli Piceno. It is an exceptionally flavorful liqueur. After a Dinner in Brooklyn 1 oz Sobieski Espresso Vodka 1/2 oz Meletti Anisette 1/2 oz Whole milk Combine all ingredients into shaker with ice.
