Bianca Amaro

Category: Bitter Liqueur

Date Tasted:
Country: USA
Alcohol: 30%
Gold color. Aromas and flavors of gentian root, bitter herbal tea and mustard seeds, aero garden mix of herbs, and pine resin with a velvety, crisp, fruity medium body and an effortless, interesting, medium-length finish imparting suggestions of elderflower and spun sugar, grapefruit and gentian root, candied garden herbs and wormwood, and anise almond biscotti and chalk. A lightly bitter drink good for stimulating the palate before a big, fancy dinner; there’s just enough sweetness to prevent it from lingering on the palate too long and interfering with your meal.

Bitter liqueurs are quite famous, especially those from Italy, such as amaro, and France. These liqueurs are made in various regions throughout these countries and are made from secret recipes of herbs and spices - some local, many imported from other territories. The herbs and spices include things such as orange peel, rhubarb, pomegranate and tree bark. Quite often these are mixed with fruit juices for pre-dinner cocktails, while most examples of amaro are enjoyed straight, often as a digestif. Alcohol levels are usually around 20% to 25%.
