Vicario Dragoncello Liqueur

Vicario Dragoncello is a French tarragon liqueur from Vicario Spirits, the project of Renato Vicario and Janette Wesley, who run two organic farms, one in his native Italy and one in her native South Carolina, and who built the brand out of Vicario's book Italian Liqueurs after years spent recreating traditional recipes. The liqueurs follow regional and historical traditions, use minimal filtration, and draw most of their fruit, herbs and spices from the couple's own gardens. Dragoncello is made in Greer, South Carolina, from French tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) hand-harvested at Moon Hare Gardens there, steeped in a 100% non-GMO neutral wheat spirit and sweetened with organic evaporated sugarcane juice from Colombia, then bottled at 38% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Tarragon has been grown since ancient Greek times and Thomas Jefferson prized it for its supposed stomach and liver benefits, which is roughly how Vicario means it to be used: as a digestivo. The producer describes hints of anise and licorice with aromatic baking spices over the fresh tarragon, and suggests pouring it after a meal alongside biscotti or ice cream, or using it in patisserie baking where its herbal sweetness does real work.
