The White Bottle from Saronno
Launched in 2020 as the house's move into cream liqueurs, Velvet takes everything drinkers know about Disaronno Originale — the floral, fruity almond signature built in Saronno since the brand's beginnings — and re-pours it as a smooth, persistent cream in an all-white take on the famous squared bottle. Find it on the Disaronno vendor page, or compare it with the rest of our liqueurs collection.
Tasting Notes
Texture: Incredibly smooth and silky, with a warming sensation. Flavour: The floral and fruity almond character of Disaronno, with nuances of chocolate and vanilla folded through the cream. Finish: Soft, sweet and persistent.
How to Enjoy
The producer's pour is simple: over ice, on the rocks. It also anchors cream cocktails — the house's own Velvet White Espresso Martini and Velvet Godfather are the starting points.
