Astor Amaro

Item # 50268

A creation made exclusively for us in collaboration with the peerless Sweetdram disitillery based in Edinburgh. To create our amaro, 14 custom botanicals were distilled to which additional botanicals of rhubarb and pomelo were added post distillation. Finally the amaro was aged for over 5yrs in a variety of casks on site in Edinburgh prior to bottling at the generous abv. of 30%. No artificial ingredients or additives.

This is not like other Amaro in texture with delightful mouthfeel and lingering finishes. The extended barrel aging gives this a roundness and the flavors have melded to become their own thing.
