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 made be used. Can be aged. Sugar is added before bottling. ABV varies, but tends to be 20-40%.

Tasting Notes
"Made in the style of a bittersweet Italian amaro, this caffeinated spirit has a rich cola hue and an aroma reminiscent of dark chocolate and orange oils. On the palate, Amaro Pazzo is warming, with a flavor you’d expect from a coffee amaro—bittersweet, rich and chocolaty, with a creamy texture and undertones of fruity java."
