Category: Bitter Liqueur

Date Tasted:
Country: Italy
Alcohol: 25%
Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of orange peel, grapefruit, jasmine, and dried flowers with a round, crisp, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a silky, nuanced, medium-long finish revealing accents of chamomile tea, macerated walnut, and anise. A pleasant sipper with zesty citrus that will be the perfect refresher after a heavy meal; a good bitter for people new to the category.

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%.
