1880 Bitter Liqueur

1880 Bitter Liqueur is inspired by the year 1880, when the Sandymount property title was drawn up. William Larnach (of the well known Larnach Castle) shaved off a section of land belonging to his larger estate and transferred it to James Jackson, his groundskeeper. The beginning of the Sandymount Estate that the distillery sits on now.

Sandymount’s 1880 Bitter Liqueur is rich with the dense warmth of cardamom and garden herbs, the bright bitterness of burnt orange peel, and the earthiness of artichoke, wormwood and fennel.

1880 can be served on its own as a digestif, over ice, with soda or lemonade, or as a key component in a negroni.
