Harvested by hand, from the VICARIO farm, just behind the distillery in Greer, SC, our estate grown herb Artemisia dracunculus, gives the name to Dragoncello (literally Little Dragon).

The herb, known to many as French Tarragon, has been cultivated from Ancient Greeks to Thomas Jefferson as it was known for its healing properties for the stomach and liver.

Improved immensely by ageing, this exotic liqueur redolent of spices, faint traces of anise and licorice, scented and aromatic, never coy but enticing, is well served after a meal or alongside biscotti or ice creams, and can be used in fine patisserie baking.
