St. George Bruto Americano 750ml

Descrizione

A blend of herbs, roots, and botanicals give Bruto its distinctive signature. The bitterness comes primarily from gentian root; the citrus notes mostly from California-grown Seville orange; balsam fir and Cascara sagrada (bark from the California buckthorn) contribute woodsy notes. A number of other ingredients round out the profile. 24% ABV.

Some ingredients are hot-steeped, others are cold-infused. The resulting mixture is filtered and then colored in the traditional manner with cochineal to achieve a natural ruby red hue.

Bruto Americano absolutely bursts with flavor. On the nose you’ll find vibrant citrus backed by cinnamon, sandalwood, and fir. On the palate, Bruto leads with bitter before opening up to an herbaceous mid-palate that gives way to a lingering bitter/citrus finish. In cocktails, use Bruto anywhere you’d use an Italian red bitter (and in a few places you wouldn’t). Bruto shines in an Americano, where the simple recipe lets its unique botanicals showcase themselves. Try it in a Negroni or a Boulevardier, where it lends new nuance to these beloved classics.
