Amaro Montenegro (75cl, 23%)

Amaro Montenegro is an Italian amaro created in Bologna in 1885 by Stanislao Cobianchi. It is made to a secret recipe of 40 botanicals, which are boiled, macerated and distilled into twelve extracts, blended into six aromatic notes, and finished with Il Premio, a micro-distillate of five botanicals. Named botanicals include sweet and bitter orange peel, coriander, artemisia, marjoram, oregano, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. The profile is bittersweet and gentler, more citrus-led than most amari. Orange peel and coriander lead, with vanilla, floral notes and gentle spice over a smooth, lingering bittersweet finish.
