NOSE: Sweet caramel, vanilla, coffee, allspice, cinnamon, cooling mint, orange peel and hints of strawberry and rhubarb.
PALATE: Full-bodied and bittersweet, with caramel, vanilla, citrus, dark chocolate and a distinctive combination of bubble gum, eggnog, root beer and bitter cola.
FINISH: Smooth, aromatic and warming, with vanilla, caramel, baked fruit, subtle wood and a lingering peppery-arugula bitterness.
AWARDS: Double Gold – 96 Points, 2024 Bartender Spirits; Gold Medal, 2021 Barleycorn.
NOTES: This unusual amaro di rucola is made with locally grown arugula from Italy’s Cilento Coast. The arugula is macerated in neutral grain spirit for approximately two to three weeks with a proprietary selection of herbs and spices. It is sweeter and more approachable than many traditional amari and works well neat, over ice, with soda or in cocktails such as a Black Manhattan.
