Amaro Montenegro

12.28.21 Served: Neat Bottle Open: Same Day Aroma: Fresh lemon pepper, oak, and pine-ish cologne. Taste: Starts as vanilla bean ice cream, finishes as bitter lemon pith. Kinda unpleasant on its own.

Usually many people first Amaro. It is herbaceous light and sweet with a very slight bitter note. Lots of eucalyptus and dark toffee notes. Great as a digestive

A great amaro for cocktails or on the rocks. Almost like a more delicate and lighter coffee liquor, with a slight herbal nuance. Not too intense. On the sweeter side.

Lighter and sweeter than campari and with a hint of citrus. Makes a great cocktail but not my top choice.
