Distiller Notes
Amaro della Sacra is crafted from all-natural ingredients, including leaves, flowers, seeds, roots, resins, spices, and barks, featuring local Piedmontese botanicals such as gentianella and hops alongside more exotic elements like Madagascan vanilla, green cardamom from the Indies, Middle Eastern myrrh, and South American cinchona bark. The ingredients are macerated in grain alcohol and aged until fully integrated, creating a harmonious and complex liqueur.

The Antica Torino Amaro Della Sacra offers a bitter/sweet look at life. The nuances of cloves, cardamom, dried leaves, maple syrup, and bitter notes make this an excellent blender for bourbon, rye, and aged tequilas. (Tasted: June 25, 2024, San Francisco, CA)
First prepared by 13th century Italian monks as herbal medicines and elixirs, Liqueurs are distilled spirits that have been combined with flavoring agents. A range of herbs, spices, nuts, fruits and flowers can be used, and a sweetener such as sugar or corn syrup is often added. While typically rather sweet, some examples are herbaceous or tart and pair exceptionally well with desserts or act as a delightful addition to cocktails.
