A Milanese fernet made with a secret blend of herbs and spices, Fernet Branca has been produced in Italy since the mid-19th century. The spirit is built on neutral alcohol infused with botanicals, then aged to marry the flavors into a unified, intensely aromatic whole. What emerges is distinctly bitter and herbal, with a complex backbone that rewards sipping and studying.
The nose is peppery and medicinal, with dark fruit and menthol notes weaving through. On the palate, you'll find sharp spice, cooling mint, and a gripping bitterness that coats the mouth and lingers long after swallowing. Fernet Branca works best as a digestif on its own or over ice, though bartenders have long favored it as a modifier in cocktails where its intensity cuts through cream liqueurs and sweetness.
