Peychaud's Aperitivo (75cl, 11%)

Peychaud's Aperitivo is an Italian-produced bittersweet aperitivo at 11% ABV, in a 750ml bottle. It is the only aperitivo rooted in the legacy of New Orleans' most iconic bitters brand, linking 19th-century apothecary tradition to the modern aperitivo category. It is produced in Italy through maceration and distillation of herbs, spices, roots, flowers and other botanicals, and it earned a Gold medal at the New York World Spirits Competition. The nose opens with zesty orange and grapefruit, backed by layered herbal undertones and a faint clove spice. On the palate it is light and approachable, with bittersweet citrus, bitter orange, grapefruit sherbet and herbal, rooty complexity. The finish is clean and moderately long, with lingering orange and grapefruit zest and a refreshingly dry, citrus-driven aftertaste.
