Taste: peppermint candy, fresh mint, molasses, matcha, amaretto, mocha and caramel. The spirit surprisingly avoids being too bitter on the palate and the silken texture is a perfect foil for the slow burn finish. Excellent.
Critic tasting note: Although it appears dark, inky and sinister in the glass, this amaro is on the sweet and gentle side. Think ripe plums, dark berries and cola, with a pleasingly spiced finish and just the faintest bitter edge. It's enjoyable to sip.
