Maraschino Buton comes from the famous G.Buton & C. Distillery, founded in Italy in 1820 by Jean Buton, heir to a family that was among the official suppliers of Napoleon I. Originally from Dalmatia, maraschino was formerly traded by sea and Venetian merchants wrapped the bottles in straw to prevent them from breaking during the long journey. This is a beautiful and elegant cherry liqueur which is both sweet and tart, made from the finest selection of marasca cherries. Refreshing aromas, pleasantly soft and round on the palate, with excellent aromatic persistence of orange blossom and marasca cherry.
