Many producers rely on spectacularly ornate glass bottles to sell product – Nardini is about what’s inside and prefers classic simple elegance and tradition. Nardini Mandorla 100PF / 1.0L While almond aroma is well to the fore, Nardini employs a cherry distillate to balance the nut’s naturally bitter flavor. Mandorla has a slightly sweet aftertaste, making it a natural first-time grappa for those new to the spirit. Excellent as a sour or an Alexander. Mandorla achieved the highest rating (Superb) in the prestigious F. Paul Pacult’s Spirit Review in 2005. “Strongly Recommend” Ultimate Spirits Challenge ‘17 1 ounce lemon juice Dash of sugar syrup
