Distiller's Background:

Tuaca traces its origins to a 16th-century Italian recipe said to have been favored by the Medici family during the height of the Renaissance. The modern formula was revived in Livorno, Italy, in 1938 and eventually brought stateside. In 2010, production transitioned to Brown-Forman, a Kentucky-based distilling powerhouse known for its high-quality bourbon portfolio. Despite the shift, the recipe remains unchanged, preserving Tuaca’s legacy as a smooth and indulgent liqueur with deep Italian roots and a contemporary American edge.
