Description
Celebrated as the world’s best liqueur, Amaro Montenegro is Italy’s most iconic amaro. More than 130 years in the making, Amaro Montenegro’s time-honored recipe features the essence of more than 40 botanicals from around the world.
Traditionally served as a digestif, Amaro Montenegro has since become a favorite among world class bartenders for its versatility in crafting modern cocktails and adding a flavorful twist to classic drinks. We invite you to discover the beautifully balanced, bitter-sweet flavor, and spirit behind our beloved Amaro Montenegro.
The Botanicals - A Closely Guarded Secret:
The quality of ingredients determines the quality of the finished product. Amaro Montenegro is made from 40 botanicals, including spices, dried fruits, roots, seeds, bark, citrus peels, flowers and species of wood sourced from around the world.
Of these 40 botanicals, only 13 are revealed and are categorized into 3 different aroma profiles: citrus, spice, and herbal. The perfect combination of these botanicals is what gives Amaro Montenegro its complex, yet well-balanced flavor.
After the botanicals are boiled, macerated, and distilled, 12 unique essences remain. These essences then undergo a delicate blending process performed by our Master Herbalist to create the 6 notes of Amaro Montenegro. These 6 notes are the pillars of the flavor, serving as the foundation of Amaro Montenegro’s taste profile.
The final, and most important stage of production, is the addition of the very last secret ingredient, called the Premio. The Premio, or Prize in Italian, is the result of a micro-distillation of 5 botanicals, and is so potent and powerful, that for every 15,000 liters of Amaro Montenegro, only 1 liter of Premio is required.
