THE STORY
Launched in September 2022, Pietro Nicola Limoncello is a distillery exclusive that takes The House of Botanicals flavour first approach and experience of producing world-class botanical spirits to create a unique take on this liqueur.
Expertly crafted and inspired by the traditional Italian spirit, our Limoncello is manufactured in the heart of Aberdeen, and created by adding layers of flavour atop each other; firstly by aromatising a proprietary botanical spirit with juicy Amalfi lemon zest and a hint of aromatic lemon balm, before sweetening with a lemon oleo saccharum (oil sugar) to offer up a Fresh, Citrus and Herbal digestivo.
We believe it is best enjoyed chilled, over ice, or in variants of Cocktails, Highballs, Sours and Spritzes.
