In an effort to celebrate being fully vaccinated, the wife and I have been enjoying dinner and drinks with our neighbors (gasp!) indoors. The neighbors know that I enjoy a good distilled spirit, and one of them is really into amaro and shared this with me tonight. Really lovely stuff. Nose smells a combination of cola, curaçao, and mint toothpaste. Taste is like flat cola, but not unpleasant like flat cola, with a finish that swings more to the sweet side than the bitter. Not sure what the availability is, but a nice pour nonetheless. Recommend.

Purchased as a replacement for Amer Picon/Amer Boudreau. Lovely dark color. Nose: Cooked oranges. Acetone Palate: SUGAR. Candied orange. Pretty one note. Oily/thick. Want more bitterness. Some salt in there. Finish. Short. Sweet. Finally a bit of bitter orange. Some spice as I continue to sip. It is a nice mild amaro that is both heavy on citrus and sweet. Glad for the proof. I will probably buy this again and it will make for good cocktail use, but I remember Jamie Boudreau's recipe being superior to this.
More sweet than herbal, fairly viscous, but still light
Burnt oranges
