To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Averna Amaro brand, the Averna Don Salvatore is a barrel-aged special edition. At the southern tip of Italy's boot lies the beautiful island of Sicily. The Averna Amaro has been produced here for 150 years and this is also where Don Salvatore Averna comes from. The founding father of the brand created the herbal bitters recipe in 1868, laying the foundation for the Italian Amaro tradition. In his honor comes the Averna Amaro from the oak barrel with the original drinking strength of 34% vol. and fine wood aromas. In terms of taste, you get a much more mature and complex Amaro in the glass than the standard Averna. Fruits and herbs still keep the balance.
The maturing process of this Amaro from Averna takes 18 months. The Italian herbal schnapps is stored in oak barrels until it has fully developed its aroma. The storage and the higher drinking strength support the high quality claim of the Amaro and its fine flavors. Here the Mediterranean herbal notes and a fine touch of citrus fruits come to the fore. The Italian spirit is a real original and was created for very special moments.
Little changes in the way of enjoying the Amaro. If you like, you can garnish the Don Salvatore Amaro with a slice of lemon or serve it on ice. However, a glass of Amaro Averna Don Salvatore without anything at room temperature is also a real treat. The spirit from Sicily always tastes like the flair of the southern island and is considered a special feature in the world of Amari by spirits connoisseurs.
