This amaro was a minor revelation. What a perfect blend of sweeter cola notes upfront and herbal bitterness on the backend. Approachable menthol overlay. A blend between Lucano, Averna and Montenegro.
Beautiful kiss of rhurbarb stands out, but there is some depth as this weaves together cola sweetness with a distinctly bitter finish with just a hint of mint. One of my favourites.
Quintessential alpine style amaro. Mint overlay, but it doesn't dominate. Sweet cola-esque mid-palate. Lovely alpine herbal finish. Very subtle cocoa.
It’s a bit chalky and citrusy on the nose, but delectably bitter and orange rinds on the palate. Best amaro I’ve had so far.
Multi-layered. Great herbal bitterness on the backend following some flat cola sweetness upfront. Classic amaro.
