Fernet Branca Bitters Liqueur 70cl / 700ml

Fernet-Branca, established in Milan in 1845, is a distinguished Italian amaro known for its intense and intricate flavor. This bitters liqueur is meticulously crafted from a secret recipe comprising over 27 herbs and spices sourced globally, including aloe from South Africa, rhubarb from China, gentian from France, and chamomile from Italy.

The production process involves fermenting these botanicals in alcohol, followed by aging the liqueur for at least one year in oak barrels, resulting in a light brown color with amber hues.

On the nose, it presents intense and penetrating aromas, balanced and rich, with distinctive notes of fresh peppermint.

The palate experiences a bold burst of menthol, complemented by earthy and herbal bitterness, hints of tobacco, chocolate, and caramel, culminating in a bitter mentholated finish.

Traditionally enjoyed as a digestif, Fernet-Branca can be served neat, over ice, or with a twist of lemon. It’s also a popular ingredient in classic cocktails like the “Fernet and Coke” or the “Toronto.” Its complex flavor profile makes it a favorite among bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts seeking to add depth to their creations.
