Review and Tasting

Sampled on 12/06/2015

Appearance:

Clear, deep reddy brown – similar to Angostura Aromatic Bitters.

Aroma:

Pungent, rooty (cola and liquorice) and herbal with clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom and black pepper spice – spicier than most Italian amari with faint zesty orange.

Taste:

The dry side of bitter-sweet with a slightly syrupy mouthfeel and pronounced cinnamon, clove and cardamom spice. Rooty cola and liquorice with caramel and honeyed sweetness. Bitterness intensifies as the palate develops accompanied by mild chill heat.

Aftertaste:

Long, spicy, rooty finish with warming chilli notes.

Overall:

Spicier than your average amaro. Subtle chilli heat along with spearmint-like freshness and zesty orange make this a cleansing after dinner digestive served over ice.
