Fernet-Branca

 

Milan, Italy

39% ABV

 

 

While there’s no distinct boundary, fernets are more intense and have more botanicals than amari, though both are focused on bitterness. Well, Fernet Branca has bitterness in spades. And mintiness. And world’s largest purchaser of saffron supposedly. It’s intense, higher alcohol, and definitely bitter. Either you’ll love it or hate it.
