Amaretto (700 ml)

Wenneker, a Dutch spirits house with roots stretching back to 1693 in the Netherlands, has long produced a broad portfolio of liqueurs designed for accessible, consistent quality at the bartender-friendly tier. Their Amaretto follows the Italian-style template

— apricot kernel extract providing the characteristic bitter-almond backbone — but is produced in Amsterdam rather than the Saronno heartland, making it a Northern European interpretation of a Southern Italian archetype.

The liqueur is built on a neutral grain spirit base, sweetened with sugar syrup and flavoured through maceration of almond and apricot kernel botanicals. The result sits at a relatively modest ABV typical of the category, with pronounced caramel and marzipan character dominating the palate.

The bitterness from the apricot kernel is present but kept subordinate to sweetness — a deliberate calibration for cocktail versatility rather than sipping complexity.

Within the Wenneker range, this is a high-volume amaretto, a practical well-bottle choice for Amaretto Sours and espresso-based builds without sacrificing the core almond-caramel profile the category demands.
