BC SPIRITS NOTES

I don’t usually do two products from the same distillery in a row but when Arbutus Distillery reached out and dropped off a sample of their brand new Amaro, I couldn’t say no. A Campari bitter style, it’s sweetened with Salal berries and it is very good. Sweet and tannic berries on the palate lead into complex and classic bitterness from their existing Amaro. This is going to be great in Negronis or even just with soda.

Alcohol - 28% / 56 proof

Color - Deep red

Nose - Bittersweet and tannic salal berries

Taste - Bittersweet and tannic salal berries on the front palate flowing through to complex and bitter botanical backbone that balances out the sweetness

Finish - A gorgeous medley of sweet salal and bitter botanicals

Best Enjoyed - Sub for Campari
