Special edition aged amaro released to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of Distilleria Caffo (established 1915) • Produced with aged Italian
brandy blended with 29 botanicals and sweetened with sugar • Brandy is distilled from grapes sourced in southern Italy; primarily Primitivo,
Gaglioppo, Greco, Nero d’Avola, Nerello Mascalese, Sangiovese, and Aglianico • Brandy is aged between 30 and 50 years (age varies batch to
batch) in Slovenian oak barrels under supervision of the Italian government • 29 botanicals featuring sweet and bitter oranges, tangerine,
chamomile, juniper, licorice, anise, mint, and hyssop; all botanicals are harvested at peak ripeness and maturity then immediately and separately
macerated in neutral grain alcohol to capture the truest expression of each ingredient • After the infusions and brandy are married, the final
blend is rested for 6 months in large ex-brandy barrels • Sweetened with sugar beet sugar and proofed with water sourced from beneath the
distillery • Honeysuckle, Mandarin orange, light clove, and banana on the nose; the palate is spiced and fruity, with strawberry jam, gentian,
bitter orange, cinnamon, and milk chocolate; a medley of baking spices, most notably licorice and clove, lingers long on the finish • 37.5% ABV
In 2015 the Caffo Distillery celebrated 100 years of business and wished to produce a very special gift for all those who love its liqueurs and
spirits. Released in numbered, limited quantities, this celebratory expression reveals a fruitier, softer side to Caffo’s classic amaro. Rich and
decadent without any cloying sweetness, enjoy neat or lightly chilled as a refined digestivo.
