Amaro Montenegro Digestif Liqueur 23% 700ml

"In the glass, it’s burnished bronze with flashes of copper — warm, inviting, almost glowing. The nose is a swirl of bittersweet orange, burnt sugar, dried herbs and spice rack complexity. Clove, cardamom, marjoram, even the suggestion of crushed rose petals and citrus rind steeped in tea. There’s depth here — not brooding, but curious.

On the palate, it’s softer than the nose suggests. The entry is sweet — candied orange peel and vanilla — before the bitterness creeps in gently. Gentian, wormwood, a touch of black pepper and aromatic spice. It never grows harsh. Instead, it flows smoothly across the tongue like a story told slowly. Sweet, then savoury, then faintly medicinal.

The finish is long but mellow. A warm herbal echo and lingering citrus, leaving the palate clean but intrigued.

In summary: Montenegro is a walk through an apothecary with a gelato in hand. Balanced, aromatic, quietly complex — the kind of amaro that wins you over sip by sip."
