Faccia Brutto Amaro Gorini

This amaro is named after the Owner's grandmother, Lena Pianta. She loved southern Italian spirits and the Amaro Gorini would’ve made her bar cart. A blend of 13 botanicals including gentian, rhubarb root, fennel seed, and sweet and bitter orange rest for 3 weeks in non-GMO neutral grain spirit. The mixture is proofed down to 40% abv and barrel aged in used whiskey barrels for a minimum of 3 months. Then then filter from the barrels and sweeten with organic cane sugar as well as organic caramel color. Then, fresh orange peel is added and sits another several days. It’s strained again and bottled. It's great on the rocks with an orange peel but it shines in a Paper Plane cocktail!
