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
"Concentrated aromas of allspice, ginger, and cloves fill the nose. The palate is a bit dense and syrupy, tasting of liquified ginger snap cookies made with raisins and molasses. The finish is a tad medicinal, but still decently mixable if diluted with a bit of ice. "
