Like most great legends, the origins of Tuaca are a little unclear. During the Renaissance Era, the liqueur was supposelly created for Lorenzo the Magnificent, an Italian ruler, who was a patron to Michelangelo and Botticelli.
When you take a sip of Tuaca the first impression is sweetness followed by some vanilla and citrus, with some brandy and wood notes that provide a subtle spiciness. The finish is fairly sweet, with a bit of brandy warmth and the oak wood notes hanging around for a while. Tuaca is a well crafted liqueur that is well balanced in the sweetness
