Believe it or not, this version of Campari is still being made. In my region, its availability is spotty, but it is possible. And it's worth the hunt (minus overpaying for it), as you get more than what you would hope for. The extra ABV brings in more flavour and bitterness, really making drinks featuring it that much more complex and compelling. All the notes which were in Difford's Guide's review really come through more intensely. Simon, I wonder if you ever got to experience this version.

Sadly, I've not experienced this version. I suspect there's a business opportunity for third-party export sales at a very premium price.
