A popular Italian bitter liqueur (or Amaro) still produced from the original 1868 recipe of natural ingredients. The herbs, roots and citrus rinds are allowed to soak in the base liquor before caramel is added. Averna is sweet, thick and has a gently herbal bitterness. Alcohol 29% Volume. 

Bitter orange with a spicy herbal background combines with fruity mix of cherry, pomegranate and strawberry. The bright red colour of this spirit is reflected in its taste, for it is a mischievous devil. Like a naughty schoolboy creeping up on you to play a prank, the early stages are quite innocuous. The initial taste is rather sweet, but it fades quickly to reveal a pleasant burst of citrus followed by a complex herbal medley of flavours. Just as the herbs start to dance around the tongue, so the bitterness starts to build; and it keeps building, and then builds a bit more. This is a bitter-tasting drink that likes to assert itself by hanging around on the palate for quite some time after you have swallowed the last drop. Alcohol 21% Volume.
