Brilliant mahogany color. Aromas and flavors of bitter chocolate, grilled artichoke, blackberry rhubarb, and gentian and anise with a syrupy, vibrant, moderately sweet medium-to-full body and a polished, elegant, long finish revealing elements of milk duds and pipe tobacco, orange and rhubarb, artichoke, mint, chocolate, and and sage. Sweet chocolate and caramel lead the way to a long and slightly vegetal palate and finish.

About
Bitter Liqueur
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%.
