ALCHEMISTS OF EMOTION.

We at La Vieja Licorería claim to be alchemists in search of no other philosopher’s stone than to move those who try our liqueur.

We do not desire any “illusionist” to talk to us about roasted hints, smoky backgrounds or balsamic notes. It is we who wish to talk to those who approach the rims of our liqueurs about notes of vanilla, cinnamon, orange blossom; citruses of sweet and bitter oranges, of bergamots, of the smooth and aromatic coffee of Jamaica, of burnt caramel; of the sensuality of the cherries and the bitterness of its pits; the freshness of mint and green lemons, the sweet scent of the yellow ones; of spicy and amber notes of ginger and bay leafs, of the anise-flavour of the fennel, the green or the star anise; of the liquorice blending with the wood of the cinchona bark and the angostura tree turning bitter towards the gentian. We want to continue talking of apricot almonds, of the mythical absinthe, of the perfumed nutmeg, the aromatic cardamom, chamomile, arnica or musk… An entire world of nuances available to the liqueur-maker, like a palette of colours for the painter.
Liqueurs that interpret the tastes from the individual memory and from that collective memory that belongs to us all; interpreting them also from the perception of the liqueur-maker as an alchemist of emotions.
