Nardini Riserva 15 Anni is a prestigious bottling created to celebrate the 225th anniversary of the Nardini distillery in Bassano del Grappa. In a world of constant reinvention, it is instructive to bear in mind that this was the first new product introduction from Nardini for 76 years. The last launch would have taken place in the 1930's.

Aged for 15 years in Slavonian oak casks, the grappa is soft and intense with complex flavours derived from the remarkably long ageing period.

Some say it is reminiscent of an Armagnac or even an Islay malt whisky. Either way, it is very much a post-prandial grappa combining extremely well with espresso and strong dark cigars, such as Partagas Series D No. 4.

Nose: Fragrant, distinct and full with overtones of wood and resin.

Palate: Soft, intense with vanilla and tobacco notes.

Finish: Sweet and complex with hints of wood, spice and tobacco.
