Staff Pick Notes

Scottish Amaro may not have been on your bingo card for the year, but maybe it should be. Coming from our close friends at Sweetdram, this extended barrel aged amaro showcases all the classic notes of gentian and candied orange peel, with the richness of Nonino and a diminished peat character that truly rounds the amaro out in style. With 5 years of barrel aging in the process the flavors have melded wonderfully into a spirit meant to be enjoyed on its own, but that blends in well in place of some of the classics for cocktails as well! I have been known for using it as a split base in an Amaro Daiquiri replacing 1oz of your rum of choice with this gem to spice things up a bit (literally). Give it a try and thank me later.
