Fernet Branca, 70 BV 39%

ABOUT: Fernet-Branca is the world’s leading all natural aromatic Italian digestif liqueur made with herbs and spices. Created in 1845 by Bernardino Branca, the recipe remains a closely guarded family secret. The 27 herbs it contains come from different countries on 4 continents: South Africa, China, France, India, Sri Lanka, Italy, and Argentina, to name but a few. It is the way these ingredients are processed and blended that makes the product so unique and impossible to imitate. This digestif is intensely herbal with a combination of deep, woody notes, rich saffron and bitter high notes, and menthol aftertaste. Gold Medal Winner at the International Wine and Spirits Competition 2015 and 2016. INGREDIENTS: Fernet-Branca is made with 27 different herbs and spices from around the world, including saffron, myrrh, rhubarb, chamomile, cardamom, aloe vera and gentian. HOW TO DRINK: Its distinctive flavour profile, with herbal notes, makes it the perfect digestif to drink neat. Try a refreshing Fernet Collins, combine 50ml Fernet-Branca with San Pellegrino Limonata in a glass filled with ice. TASTING NOTES: With the first sip of Fernet-Branca, the natural bitter taste of Fernet Branca and its herbs presents itself to the palette. There is an unexpected softness as the initial taste settles and the bitter taste becomes almost tannic. Sweeter, more delicate notes of plants and flowers come through, whilst the bitter taste lingers in the background.
