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
"Immediately find a big dose of cloves right at the start of the nose, with a distinctive pumpkin pie note and cassia bark. Take a sip to find a viscous mouthfeel, with more baking spice-laden pumpkin, as well as orange peel, molasses, cinchona, and sarsaparilla. The bitter begins as more of a background player but builds as you continue sipping. The amaro ends with a moderate length spicy-bitter and citrus peel finish."
