Bitter LiqueursMuch like amaro, bitter liqueurs are made from the maceration or distillation (or combination) of herbs, spices, roots, flowers, or other botanicals. Bitter liqueurs are often red or orange in color, although they needn’t be. Sugar is added before bottling. ABV varies widely.

Tasting Notes
"A bright nose showcases syrupy dates, grapefruit peel, sarsaparilla and cola, with an herbal bouquet of rosemary and thyme. The palate, at first bracingly bitter, quickly gives way to sweetness with raisins, blackberries, and a touch of vanilla. There's also earthy underpinnings with mushrooms, as well as spearmint, black licorice, and oak. The finish is short, clean, and bitter."
