Step back in time with this exceptional collector's piece: a 1-litre bottle of Disaronno Originale, dating from the iconic 1970s. This is more than just a liqueur; it is a perfectly preserved artifact of Italian style and tradition, bottled during a defining era for the brand. Hailing from Saronno, Italy, this liqueur's secret recipe traces its lineage back to 1525, representing nearly five centuries of guarded family heritage.
This particular bottling captures the moment Disaronno's fame was soaring internationally. It features the legendary square bottle, a design masterpiece conceived in the 1970s by a Murano glassmaker to be instantly recognizable by touch alone. This design innovation cemented Disaronno's status as a global icon. Produced by ILLVA Saronno, this vintage liqueur was secured for the "Duty Free" market, adding a unique layer to its history and making it a prized find for discerning collectors of rare spirits.
With its rich amber hue and the promise of a classic amaretto profile derived from apricot kernels and seventeen selected herbs and fruits, this bottle is a testament to the enduring quality of "the world's favourite Italian liqueur." Its remarkable state of preservation, iconic presentation, and specific 1970s provenance make it a rare and desirable acquisition for anyone passionate about the history of classic liqueurs.
The presentation of this vintage bottle is a study in 1970s-era branding. The front label, presented on tan-gold paper, prominently features the brand's historic coat of arms above the name DISARONNO in a bold, serif font. Below, it declares its heritage with "SINCE 1525" and its status as "THE WORLD'S FAVOURITE ITALIAN LIQUEUR". The label also clearly indicates its "DUTY FREE" origin, 28% alc./vol strength, and generous 1 litre e volume.
The back label offers cocktail suggestions and directs enthusiasts to the brand's website, reinforcing its global appeal. It confirms its origin as a "Product of Italy" and identifies the producer as ILLVA SARONNO S.p.A. The iconic square bottle is topped with a substantial black stopper, featuring "DISARONNO" in gold lettering on the front and a beautifully embossed crest with the year "1525" on top. A green vertical "GUARANTEE SEAL" from ILLVA Saronno runs down the neck, a distinctive feature of this period. The bottle is in excellent condition, with a superb fill level reaching well into the neck, ensuring its contents have been perfectly preserved.
