Generality Maraschino is an alcoholic beverage obtained from the distillation of marasca or amarena cherries (fruits of the tree Prunus cerasus L.). The maraschino is colorless, transparent, with a sweet taste and an alcohol content of about 30% Vol .; it is therefore deducible that it is a super-alcoholic beverage

Generality Nocino is a liqueur made from the infusion of the husk of common walnuts (fruits of the Juglans regia L. plant) in ethyl alcohol. The husk is the fleshy portion of the drupe (fruit), under which the real walnut is housed, consisting of the woody endocarp (shell) to protect the seed (the kernel or the edible part)

Generality Rum is a brandy produced by the distillation of fermented juice or sugar cane molasses ( Saccharum officinalis ). Also known as rhum in French-speaking countries, and as ron in Hispanic ones, rum is a real brandy made from cane; it is mostly derived from the distillation of fermented residues deriving from the manufacture of cane sugar, and the related molasses and syrups; however, nothing (except the clearly higher production cost) prohibits the distillate from being extracted directly from cane juice, without therefore passing through the production of sugar

Generality Sherry is a liqueur wine obtained by fermentation of white grapes. Typical of the city of Jerez de la Frontera (Andalusia - Spain), sherry is produced in two main varieties: "dry", like Manzanilla and Fino, made mainly from Palomino grapes (similar to light table white wines); "aged" (in cask), like Amontillado and Oloroso (darker, alcoholic and with soft notes)
