AmaroAmaro means “bitter” in Italian. No legal definition exists, and though it originated in Italy, amaro (plural: amari) can be made anywhere. Originally created to aid in digestion, it is a bittersweet liqueur made from the maceration or distillation (or combination) of herbs, spices, roots, flowers, or other botanicals. Often uses neutral spirit as the base, but other liquor or wine can be used. Can be aged. Sugar is added before bottling. ABV varies, but tends to be 20-40%.

Tasting Notes
"Loads of rhubarb upfront. Sweet on the tongue, the moderate smoke and bitter factor comes through as you finish the taste. Slightly oily, the fruit smoke flavor is a lovely quality overall. Though not overly spicy, there are herbs and roots present that give the amaro depth. More sweet than bitter, this is an enjoyable drink. "
