Reviewed February 3, 20222.2.22 Served: Neat, flute, Bottle open: Same Day Aroma: Aqueous. Grapefruit peel and lemon pith. Nasal fatigue allows savory notes of caraway and allspice. Flavor: Starts as grapefruit soda (none of the bitterness of real juice yet). Mids like candied oranges with a syrupy mouthfeel. Finishes with ginger-like spiciness and clean bitterness. Has the same "type" of finish as fernet. Might use the same bittering agent. Elements of: Nonino, Montenegro, Fernet. -

Reviewed December 17, 2020 (edited May 20, 2023)I bought this for a mere $20 USD after @cascode ‘s beaming review. It does not disappoint. After cleaning 10 inches of snow last night over a 100 foot driveway, I decided to forgo my once/every few weeks pour—-If there was a time I needed a drink, this was it. I always imagined amaro to be bitter. Not sure why...just an impression. It’s like those lay-off HR rooms at work. Ya’ll know what I’m talking about. Well at least the Americans here know what I’m talking about. The Europeans are like “ lay-off”? “ what’s that? “. So— When a company lays you off, your manager sets up your regularly scheduled 1on1 in a special room. You’re supposed to have no freakin’ idea you’re about to get laid off, but now you know when you see the invite. You know these rooms. We all have had impressions of this room. It’s a windowless sullen bland color room. No sharp objects. No whiteboard with chalks or erasers or pens. No pencils. No staplers. Nothing at all, except a well bolted down desk and a few bolted down chairs. The lay off room. Without ever entering it inside, you always would have this insidious impression of it. Somehow thinking it would be like a CIA interrogation center. But as soon as you come in, it’s not too bad. In fact, If it wasn’t for the dumbass boss and his pawn of an HR, that room would be damn cozy. Comfy chairs. Just can lean back and take a nap. Yeah...not what you’d expect as something bitter, but rather sweet...not too sweet, just right. That’s this pour in a nutshell. Amazingly aromatic of oranges and cloves. Taste a bit sweet, but that pulls back with some ice , making it just right. Oranges, cloves, rosemary, and maybe nutmeg? Damn good. Do yourselves a favor and pick this up. For sub-$30, it beats all others in that price range.20.0 USD per Bottle
