Romana Black Sambuca 12 x 50 ml

Romana Black Sambuca 12 x 50 ml is a bold, richly aromatic Italian liqueur presented in convenient 50 ml miniatures—perfect for gifting, entertaining, or sampling. Known for its deep black profile and pronounced anise character, it delivers intense licorice warmth with a sleek, lingering finish.

Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced in Italy, Romana Black Sambuca embodies the classic Roman style of sambuca with added depth and sweetness. The base spirit is crafted from high-quality neutral alcohol, then infused with star anise and botanical extracts that give sambuca its signature anise aroma and flavor. The “Black” designation indicates a richer, more concentrated flavor profile compared to transparent or white sambucas—often achieved through extended maceration of anise and complementary botanicals, as well as a touch of natural coloring that hints at sweet licorice, toasted herbs, and spice.

Each mini bottle (50 ml) is individually portioned, offering consistent expression and ease of use for tastings, flights, events, or hospitality settings. The liqueur style reflects Italian tradition—meant to be aromatic, richly flavored, and deeply satisfying when enjoyed neat, chilled, or in cocktails.

Tasting Profile
Nose: Bold and aromatic with prominent star anise, black licorice, and anise seed aromas, alongside hints of burnt sugar, clove, and a whisper of citrus peel.

Palate: Sweet and full-bodied, the palate delivers sustained anise and licorice intensity, enriched by notes of black pepper, clove spice, and toasted herbal undertones. The texture is smooth and approachable despite its strong flavor profile.

Finish: Long and aromatic, with lingering licorice warmth and gentle spice resonance that taper into anise-kissed sweetness.
