Campari
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Campari is an Italian bitter liqueur producer founded in Milan in 1860, where its signature aperitif has been made using a proprietary blend of herbs, spices, and fruit peels macerated in alcohol and water. The formula, developed by Gaspare Campari, remains a closely guarded secret comprising roughly 60 botanical ingredients. The current Campari 750ml represents the modern standard expression, while Campari Cask Tales 1 Liter introduces an additional wood-aging phase that distinguishes it from the classic recipe. The vintage bottlings - spanning decades from the 1960s through the 1990s - reflect historical formulations and alcohol strengths, including the Campari Vintage Bottled 1960s at 30% ABV, offering a direct comparison between eras of production.
