Intense. Earthy. Comfortingly bittersweet.
Bordiga Elisir Liquirizia is a rich, velvety liqueur that celebrates the bold and unmistakable flavour of pure Italian liquorice. Crafted by the renowned Bordiga distillery in Piedmont, it captures the essence of this ancient root — dark, aromatic, and full of character. Each bottle is a testament to the distillery’s time-honoured techniques, blending tradition, precision, and natural ingredients to produce a spirit that is both powerful and refined.
The liquorice roots are carefully selected and slowly macerated to extract their deep, earthy sweetness and smooth texture. The result is an indulgent elisir with an intense, lingering flavour that balances natural bitterness with a rounded, elegant finish. It’s a liqueur that speaks to true craftsmanship, offering complexity and harmony in every sip. Enjoyed neat, over ice, or as a sophisticated addition to coffee or dessert, Bordiga Elisir Liquirizia delivers a taste experience that is unmistakably Italian.
For Irish spirits lovers, this liqueur brings something extraordinary — a distinctive, artisanal digestif that stands apart for its depth and natural richness. Whether you’re winding down after dinner or looking to explore Italy’s lesser-known treasures, Bordiga Elisir Liquirizia offers an authentic connection to Piedmont’s heritage and flavour traditions, now available to enjoy in Ireland.
