About this product

Exotic. Earthy. Monaco’s Mediterranean Secret.
Distillerie de Monaco Carruba captures the spirit of the Mediterranean coastline in a way few liqueurs can. Crafted in the heart of the principality, this remarkable creation celebrates the carob tree, an ancient species that thrives under the golden Riviera sun. The pods, rich and aromatic, are carefully hand-harvested before being transformed into a luxurious liqueur that embodies both the natural beauty and refined sophistication of Monaco.

Carruba is a testament to patience and passion. Each batch is slowly macerated to extract the full depth of the carob’s flavour—dark cocoa, roasted fig, and gentle spice—balanced by a subtle sweetness and smooth texture. The result is a drink that feels indulgent yet deeply authentic, echoing the quiet elegance of Monaco’s coastal evenings and the whisper of sea air along the cliffs.

For Irish spirits enthusiasts, Distillerie de Monaco Carruba offers a rare opportunity to experience a liqueur born from the Mediterranean’s most cherished ingredient. It’s a sip of Riviera luxury, ideal for those who appreciate craftsmanship and character. Whether enjoyed neat, poured over ice cream, or used to elevate your favourite cocktails, Carruba is a sophisticated statement in any collection.

Why we love it:
We love Carruba for its rich, velvety character and its connection to Mediterranean heritage. The unique use of carob pods gives it an elegant depth that blends notes of cocoa, dried fruit, and spice. It’s the kind of liqueur that invites slow enjoyment and rewards curiosity—a taste of Monaco’s understated glamour captured in liquid form.
