Frederic Bassett 4.5

Served neat on 1.2.22. Aroma: Molasses, fig, and panettone (raisin, cinnamon, bread) with a proofy spice cabinet character. After the initial aroma fades, honey notes become apparent (clover or orange blossom). Taste: It begins with a syrupy sweetness like maple syrup or honey. The middle consists of simple raisin notes. The finish has a lasting sweetness, bitterness, and a burn that could be from proof or spice. The aftertaste and bitterness level are comparable to fernet. Overall: Notes of dried fruit, honey, and fernet.

Chris Gilchrist 3.8

Intriguing and layered. The Amaro presents intense bitterness, reminiscent of Fernet, with prominent anise and savory characteristics. Its sweetness is notably subdued, and the finish is quite dry and puckering. Rumors suggest mushrooms contribute to its flavor profile.

Kassandra Shafer 3.5

1.25.22 Served: Rocks glass with an ice sphere Bottle opened: 1 month ago It's like Cynar and Fernet had a child with a lot of honey. Extremely sweet, intensely bitter, and quite earthy.

Grace Burroughs 4.0

Pine sap with minty notes on the initial taste, followed by a pronounced gentian-like bitterness. Walnut and dried fruit emerge in the aftertaste. It has an herbaceous character.

Sandy Wilkins 4.0

Extremely bitter! Hints of cola, dust, leather, raisin, and vanilla appear, but it finishes overwhelmingly bitter and oaky, with herbal notes and an amazing lasting impression.

Jewel Templeton 4.5

2.22.22 Served: Large ice cube in a rocks glass Opened: 2 Months Really nice on the rocks. The balance between bitter and sweet is excellent.
