Abracadabra is consistent with the other fine liquori and amari produced by Vecchio Maggazino Doganale. Abracadabra has a deep, rich pure licorice flavour distilled from authentic Calabrian licorice root. No fake licorice flavor ( anise) here. Kudos to Dolceterra for making it possible to get Abracadabra and other Vecchio Maggazino Doganale products in the USA.
