Amaro Bràulio

One of the better alpine amaro's out there. Amaro Braulio is very versatile and great neat or in cocktails. The cost is a touch higher than other amari, but I would still consider this one of the mainstays in my bar. The pine and mint on the nose are very prominent. The palate is heavy on the menthol, but it's also sweet with some clove notes. The bitterness is there, just not overpowering like Fernet Branca. The finish has absolutely no burn, pretty herbal and with a bit of spice. I find this more interesting than Fernet Branca and while it's not called for as much in cocktails as Fernet Branca, I believe it's better and often works better. This is also superior neat. Granted, it does cost a good $10 plus more than Fernet Branca, but I think it's well worth the cost.

Nice. Apparently doesnt have the ingredient that normally stands out to me in amaro. A little sweet for me. Not particularly bitter. Excellent 50/50 with Sfumato Rabarbaro.

Classic alpine amaro. Prominently minty, but not overbearingly so. Quite sweet upfront but with a balanced herbal bitter finish.

This lived up to the hype big time. Beautiful woody, mountain flavor.
