Not an experienced palate for Amaros and bitter liqueurs in general, but I can see a lot to like in this one. Really really good coffee, strong orange peel, a hint of demarara, and bombastic levels of cardamom. Wasn’t thinking of it at the time but menthol makes sense. Will have to revisit with some time on my hands to ponder and appreciate.
About this bottle
A collaboration with Kansas City's J. Rieger & Co. and Thou Mayest Coffee Roaster, this coffee-flavored, Italian-style amaro blends flavors from a Sumatran single origin coffee beans with botanicals and herbs like juniper berries, anise, cardamom, orange peel, spearmint, and vanilla. It then spends a short time in a whiskey barrel to develop its unique flavor before being sweetened with cane syrup. While a dram of this is not akin to sipping a cup of your morning joe, this amaro does contain about 467mg of caffeine per bottle.

Even though Reiger is under a bridge and tucked in an industrial corner, this amaro is awesome!
Menthol amaro with the right amount of coffee. Great over ice.
Nice coffee flavors. On the sweet side
