The folks at White Possum have been big fans of Amaretto and its marzipan flavour for as long as they can remember. But it was a shame not to be able to buy an Australian made Amaretto, so they decided to take matters into their own hands and make one. This is a stripped down version of the classic Italian Amaretto, but with an Australian twist. To make it, the team smashes apart Australian grown bitter almonds (a by-product of the apricot industry), cooks and infuses them in a clean sugarcane spirit for weeks. This is where they get that big bold marzipan flavour that Amaretto lovers will recognise immediately. They then add a pinch of wild Strawberry Gum leaves, harvested from outback NSW, which adds an extra floral boost. On the nose, you'll detect thick marzipan notes but also a smattering of floral and herbal aromas, thanks in part to the addition of Strawberry Gum. A quick swirl opens it up further. On the palate, you'll be greeted with an explosion of marzipan flavour thanks to a generous infusion of bitter almonds. It's thick, decadent and syrup-like with plenty of sweetness but not 'visit the dentist' sweet. On the finish, you'll experience a long drawn-out ending with brown sugar playing a key role in the length. Its flavours will dance around on your tongue like a house party into the wee hours of the morning. All of White Possum's liqueurs, including Naked Amaretto, are bottled exclusively in recycled glass spirit bottles. Between the lovely network of bars who help collect empty spirit bottles for them and the empty bottles that get spat out of their own 'tasting flight production line', they've managed to build up a locally sustainable supply of bottles. These bottles are given a "rough massage" to strip the labels off, then a hardcore hot rinse and a final polish up before being revived with a new liqueur filled life.

Aromatics “The spirit opens on a captivating combination of Citrus notes, led by Aniseed and Cinnamon Myrtle in harmony with a lively drift of Finger and Blood Limes that awakens and stimulates the olfactory system which rejoices in the purity of their aromas. But be patient, that is just the start of an aromatic odyssey. Juniper berries pop like champagne bubbles lifting the senses to a place they have never been. With a little time and aeration Juniper and Coriander enter the scene bringing the depth and distinction that one expects from a high quality Gin. As the spirit evolves further, the taste receptors are going crazy with anticipation, but they will have to wait as White Aspen and Riberry join the party. Add a little Lily Pilly and Dorrigo Pepper leaf and now your getting there. It’s an incredible beguiling ground breaking aromatic exploration.” Flavours "All the above are a precursor for what you are about to experience on the palate. A brilliant combination of Licorice, Aniseed and Wild Ginger captivate and totally seduce the palate, which is not complaining, it’s totally captivated. However after some 15 minutes of sipping a brilliant beguiling flavour of native Raspberries dusted with Macadamias emerged bringing a fabulous contrast to the above. What an adventure, in many ways, a journey back in time to the rainforest"
