Faccia Brutto Lugermeister

750 mL
Item # 54628

An ingenious recreation of traditional German-style krauterlikors - essentially the amari of Germany - made in collaboration with the fabled New York institution Peter Luger Steakhouse. Available to purchase exclusively here at Astor Wines & Spirits. Created from a custom blend of 21 botanicals that do not resemble any of the previous Faccia creations - making this arguably their most original creation. An cornucopia of spices both sweet and savoury will enliven the palate whether enjoying neat or in cocktails from Manhattans and beyond.

Staff Pick Notes

Just as every region, city and town of Italy has its own personal type of Amaro, Bitter Herbal Liqueurs are prevalent throughout Central Europe with the best known being Jägermeister. Jager got a bad rap starting back in the 80's, after being marketed to college kids in so-called Jagerbombs. Tasting it now, it tastes like an Amaro, but the USA was not ready for something with both bitter and sweet flavors. Absolut Citron it is not. Fast Forward to present times and Amaro has been a thing for a minute, while other Eastern European Bitters, like Zwack's Unicum, among others, have found a following, so here comes the Lugermeister from Faccia Brutto and Peter Lugers. Classically meant to settle the stomach after a big meal, this would be perfect after a big steak at Peter Lugers, with a light freshness that belies its 30% abv. Stellar!!
