Who It’s For:
If you like gin, alpine spirits, or forest-driven herbal profiles.

How to Use It:

With soda for a highball
In a 50-50 with your favorite mezcal
As a modifier in stirred drinks with tropical fruit, passionfruit is a favorite

Why It’s Different:
A distinctly fresh, forest-forward amaro that leans bright instead of heavy.

This amaro is a bittersweet distillation of 18 alpine botanicals, including chicory root, rhubarb root, spruce buds, elecampane root, and eucalyptus. They rest in non-GMO neutral grain spirit for two and a half weeks, are strained, and proofed down to 34% abv. They’re aged in Bourbon barrels in a two-stage Solera system that averages one year in age come bottling. It’s sweetened with a blend of organic dark clover honey and organic cane sugar and bottled. Delicious neat with lemon peel, 50/50 with mezcal, or in anything with tropical fruit.

What Aesop soap once signaled in the bathroom, Faccia Brutto telegraphs from behind the bar: taste and quality, half-buried beneath a little scruff.

New York Magazine
Way too bitter for me, 3/10

Dave
At the end of a deliciously long, extravagant meal, my body practically cries out for a digestif...this is where the Brat green bottle of Faccia Brutto Centerbe comes in.

Bon Appetit
Faccia Brutto makes a lot of great expressions in the amaro world, but their Aperitivo has to be one of the most pleasant bitter spirits around
