Fernet Branca Menta (75cl)

A mint amaro from Fratelli Branca in Milan, Italy, made from the house's Fernet botanical recipe enriched with essential oil of Piedmontese peppermint. It is matured slowly for over twelve months in oak casks. The result is recognisably Fernet in its bitter structure, unmistakably mint in the glass, and sweeter and more approachable than Fernet-Branca. Serve it well chilled or over ice, straight; it also takes kindly to cola and is used in Stinger-style serves. Nose: intense, fresh peppermint over bitter herbs. Palate: mint leads, then the warm bitter depth of the Fernet base pushes through. Finish: long, cooling and bittersweet.
