Product Information about the Liqueur

The basis for the new banana cream liqueur BUD SPENCER – The Legend – BANANA JOE is the mild St. Kilian Single Malt Spirit, which is double distilled from the best barley malt in copper pot stills and then infused with natural banana aromas and the finest cream. The combination of the fruity taste of sun-ripened bananas and creamy toffee with a hint of lime gives this liqueur an unmistakable and alluring note. With an alcohol content of 21% Vol., BANANA JOE is an elegant and full-bodied pleasure for lovers of high-quality liqueurs and Bud Spencer fans alike.
