Distiller Notes
Leopold Bros. Fernet Leopold Highland Amaro embraces the herbal notes of the traditional fernet style, while offering a pronounced and entirely unique mint quality. They achieve this by steeping a flight of bitter roots in our spirit followed by rose petals, elderflower, chamomile, and honeysuckle which lend depth and a complex finish. These ingredients will rest for weeks before they are drained and racked into Chardonnay barrels for months of aging. Every barrel is handbottled, to preserve the integrity of the flavor and aroma.
Good to Know: Bottles may contain natural botanical sediment. To disperse sediment, simply turn bottle upside down 1-2 times before opening.

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.
