About this bottle

Monsieur Henri Vallet, a Frenchman who relocated to Mexico in the mid-1800s, devised the formula for this bitter liqueur. Its ingredients include Angostura bark, rhubarb, quassia wood, clove, gentian root, and cherry fruit, alongside other roots and spices. It is bottled at 90 proof. The word "amargo" signifies "bitter" in Spanish, akin to the Italian "amaro."
