Dark. Seductive. Rooted in Sardinian soul.
Liqu is Silvio Carta’s bold tribute to the ancient, earthy pleasure of liquorice — a strikingly dark, intensely aromatic liqueur that captures the raw elegance of Sardinia’s terroir. Made using estate-grown liquorice roots and infused with native Mediterranean herbs, this artisan creation goes far beyond the ordinary.
The recipe is simple yet deeply expressive: natural liquorice extract, Sardinian cane sugar, and an alcohol base enriched with the herbal essence of the island’s macchia. The result is a liqueur that’s unctuous and warming, with a rich, lingering flavour of black liquorice, soft anise, and earthy spice.
Perfect as a refined digestif or an inventive cocktail base, Liqu speaks to lovers of bold, botanical spirits and elegant, unconventional flavours. It’s one of those rare spirits that feels both ancient and modern, rustic and refined.
Why we love it:
Liqu is not just a liqueur — it’s a statement. Intense, silky, and deeply rooted in Sardinian craft, it bridges tradition and creativity with a flavour that lingers long after the last sip. A must-have for liquorice lovers and adventurous spirits connoisseurs alike.

Colour
Opaque jet black with deep violet reflections.
Nose
Intense aromas of pure liquorice root, black anise, and a hint of balsamic herbs.
Palate
Smooth and velvety with rich black liquorice, molasses, soft herbal spice, and a long, slightly bitter finish. Balanced, polished, and satisfying without overwhelming sweetness.

Serve chilled or on the rocks after dinner, or as a bold herbal element in modern cocktails. Its deep complexity makes it a standout with aged spirits and vermouth.
