Fernet Branca Bitters Liqueur
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Fernet Branca is an Italian amaro bitters liqueur produced in Milan by Fratelli Branca since 1845, made from a proprietary blend of 27 herbs, roots, and spices including myrrh, rhubarb, chamomile, cardamom, and saffron, then aged in oak barrels for a minimum of twelve months. The result is intensely bitter, menthol-forward, and medicinal in character, with dark dried-fruit and licorice undercurrents. The Menta variant, represented here in a 1970s vintage bottling, shifts toward a cooler, peppermint-dominant profile. The 1970s vintage expressions capture an older production era before modern standardization, making them reference points for how the formula has evolved. The 180th Anniversary Limited Edition marks a specific production milestone, while the standard 750ml and 50ml formats represent the current house recipe in its familiar everyday form.
