DISTILLERY NOTES

The Woods Spirit Co. Chiaro Amaro is a Pacific Northwest take on a traditional Italian favourite. A little more approachable than the original herbal liqueur, Chiaro Amaro is delicate and balanced. It’s delicious served neat with a citrus wedge, on ice with soda, or mixed into your favorite martini, sour, or white negroni.

Woods’ expert distillers tested many variations of herbs, roots, flowers, bark, and citrus peels before landing on the perfect blend of botanicals for Chiaro Amaro. Thirteen botanicals including Lemon, Star Anise, and Gentian.

Chiaro Amaro’s unique clarity and flavour is thanks to our innovative process of vacuum distillation which reveals the pure essence of the botanicals, while maintaining the crystal clarity of the alcohol.

Citrus-floral forward with a perfect blend of bitter and sweet, Woods’ Chiaro Amaro is a refreshing and versatile liqueur that can be enjoyed alone or added to your favourite cocktails.
