Amermelade - Aperitivo 750ml

Amermelade Aperitivo is the groundbreaking, flagship spirit from Montreal's Les Spiriteux Iberville, a captivating Quebec-made aperitif with a truly Italian soul. This is the product that initiated the artisanal Italian spirits movement in Quebec, born from founder Mario D'Amico's passion for the classic aperitivo ritual he learned from his Italian grandmother.

This remarkable bitter liqueur represents a perfect marriage of two cultures. It builds upon a traditional foundation of bitter plant extracts like gentian and quinine, and a complex, sharp bouquet of various citrus fruits including orange, lemon, grapefruit, and bergamot. What makes Amermelade truly distinctive is the "fresh wind of change" from local Quebec botanicals, thoughtfully weaving in notes from ingredients like sea buckthorn and sweet gale to create a flavor profile that is both familiar and entirely new.

The result is a deliciously refreshing and layered experience. It opens with bright citrus and hints of fir and ginger, leading to a palate where a bitterness reminiscent of pink grapefruit unfolds. The journey concludes with a light, complex finish of camphor, eucalyptus, and rose notes. Perfect for crafting a vibrant, fresh-tasting Spritz or a "kinder version" of the classic Negroni, Amermelade is an indispensable tool for the modern cocktail enthusiast.
