Using the wine of the white grape variety Airén as a base, we have made a vermouth macerated and flavoured with botanicals using traditional wild plants of great finesse and elegance, such as wormwood, gentian or orange peel, to finally age it in oak barrels that have contained our liquor Cantueso Oro. Serve very cold with ice and, if desired, a slice of orange.
The Art of distilling History
The distillation of the Cantueso flower, “thymus moroderi” dates back to the end of the 18th century and it was Queremón Alonso, an industrialist from Monovar (Alicante), who created our famous Cantueso Oro liqueur. In a very short time, thanks to its extraordinary flavour and quality, it received international recognition in different exhibitions and competitions.
Today we make Cantueso Oro using the same working methods that were used a century earlier, distilling it in copper stills and then ageing it in American oak barrels. The result is a liqueur with a genuine flavour that reflects the essence of traditional liqueurs and transports us to the Mediterranean mountains with every sip.
