Distiller Notes
EXR Bitter Liqueur is velvety smooth while at the same time clean, aromatic and herbaceous. It embodies the caramel sweetness of port and the bitter flavors of a classic Italian Amaro.

This is an intense digestif, decidedly on the bitter side of the spectrum but not tongue-curlingly so. With an espresso hue and solid menthol aroma, expect concentrated flavors featuring bitter chocolate, coffee and anise, with a very minty finish.
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.
