Gran Classico Bitter Liqueur

Very interesting with a big Rhubarb punch at the start. It actually kind of reminds me more of Aperol with its gentle bitterness and Orange and Caramel notes. I like it but I still like Campari more.

It's a shame this is so pricey, because it's become of of my favourite aperitifs with one big block of ice, as well as a fascinating mixer for an unusual negroni. That rhubarb tartness really cuts through the orange sweetness just right, and the bitterness is well spread throughout.

Lighter. Bitter-er. Rhubarb-i-er. More complex, with something I can't quite put my finger on yet. So far just straight over ice or with soda water, but think it'll make a helluva mixer, prolly with just one other strong ingredient so it can really strut its stuff.

Slightly sweeter at the start and then a much more bitter finish than Campari. Supposedly this is what Campari tasted like before they changed the formula, and it’s not too hard to see that. However, I do love that deep red which is missing here.
