Fernet-Vallet Amaro

Fernet-Vallet is an intensely herbal and woodsy Mexican amaro. Crafted from a 19th-century recipe using aromatic botanicals like gentian root, cinnamon, clove, cardamom, and Quassia wood, it offers a deep, molasses color and bold baking spice flavors. Unlike its Italian counterparts, it is famously dry and mint-free.

Key Tasting Notes

  • Taste: Features a velvety texture with dry, earthy flavors of black tea and cola, balanced perfectly by the moderate, tingling bitterness of gentian.

  • ABV: 35% (70 proof)
