Bordiga Sambuca

Sweet. Silky. Authentically aromatic.
Bordiga Sambuca is a masterful reimagining of one of Italy’s most beloved liqueurs — a spirit that captures the purity of star anise while reflecting the refined artistry of the historic Bordiga distillery. Produced in the heart of Piedmont using time-honoured methods, this Sambuca is crafted from the finest anise seeds and botanicals, distilled slowly to preserve their delicate aromatic oils. The result is a spirit of remarkable clarity, texture, and depth.

On the nose, it’s intensely fragrant — sweet, spicy, and inviting, with notes of fresh anise, fennel, and a gentle herbal whisper. The palate is smooth and full-bodied, opening with the natural sweetness of anise before giving way to a long, warming finish touched by subtle spice. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or with three coffee beans alla mosca, Bordiga Sambuca offers an authentic taste of Italian tradition elevated by meticulous craftsmanship.

For Irish drinkers who value authenticity and refinement, Bordiga Sambuca stands apart as a spirit of true character. It brings together the warmth of Mediterranean flavour with the purity of Alpine distillation — a timeless classic that feels both comforting and sophisticated. Perfect for after-dinner moments, elegant gatherings, or simply celebrating la dolce vita at home.
