Bordiga Elisir Rabarbaro (Rhubarb liqueur)

Bitter-sweet. Herbaceous. Authentically alpine.
Bordiga Elisir Rabarbaro is a bold, aromatic liqueur that captures the distinctive character of Italian rhubarb, reimagined through the expertise of Bordiga’s historic distillery in Piedmont. This refined elisir balances earthy depth and gentle bitterness with the natural tang and vibrancy of rhubarb, creating a spirit that’s both invigorating and beautifully complex. Each bottle evokes the spirit of the Alps — crisp mountain air, wild herbs, and the artistry of traditional Italian distillation passed down for generations.

Made using a slow maceration of select rhubarb roots and natural botanicals, Elisir Rabarbaro reveals a harmony of bittersweet notes layered with subtle spice and a hint of fruit sweetness. Its deep ruby hue and aromatic freshness make it ideal for sipping neat, served over ice, or used as a sophisticated cocktail ingredient. The result is a liqueur that bridges the gap between classic amaro tradition and contemporary elegance.

For Irish drinkers seeking something truly distinctive, Bordiga Elisir Rabarbaro brings a taste of Italy’s alpine heritage with a modern twist. Its complex, bittersweet profile adds refinement to after-dinner moments and depth to cocktails — a must-have for those in Ireland who appreciate artisanal spirits that balance tradition, craftsmanship, and natural flavour.
