Vicario Mirto Liqueur

Vicario Mirto is one of the rarest and most historically resonant liqueurs available in America — a Sardinian tradition made from a plant that has been sacred across human civilizations for thousands of years. In Greek mythology myrtle was sacred to Aphrodite and Demeter, worn by Athenian judges while exercising their functions and used to crown winners in the Olympian games — a symbol of honor, authority, love, and immortality across Greek, Roman, Jewish, and Islamic traditions alike. Vicario's Mirto is estate-grown, collected in November from their family farm at Villa Sant'Andrea in Cortona, Italy, where myrtle lines ancient walls that are remnants of a medieval hospital, then finished in South Carolina. The myrtle berries are harvested by hand in autumn and macerated in 100% non-GMO neutral wheat spirit, producing a liqueur that is genuinely hard to find anywhere in the United States. Using the berries and leaves of the myrtle plant, it offers intense fruit notes with juniper, mint, and eucalyptus alongside citrus — first appearing very sweet, followed by a pleasant bitterness. Notes of black tea, cinnamon, and faint bitter orange round out a delightfully refreshing herbal profile. Buy Vicario Mirto Liqueur online with fast shipping right to your door.
