Fred Jerbis Amaro 16 Fernet 750 mL

Infused with a blend of 16 botanicals in nearly pure alcohol, this concoction adheres to an ancient recipe attributed to a monk order. All the components, sourced exclusively from Italy, include linden-leaf, ash leaf, mulberry, rhubarb root, currants, orange peel, and cypress leaf. The deep, natural amber hue results solely from the infusion of the botanicals; no artificial colorants are added, a departure from the usual practice. A scent reminiscent of tree buds dominates, accompanied by herbaceous notes characteristic of tree leaves. The underlying root aroma subtly surfaces, contributing to the overall aromatic complexity. The flavor profile is characterized by herbaceousness, equilibrium, and delicacy, exhibiting both intensity and rounded balance. The journey culminates in a pleasant bitterness, echoing the essence of bark and buds found in a forest after a rainfall. The finish carries a subtle citrussy nuance. Despite its bitter conclusion, the richness of the flavor lingers persistently.
