About Faccia Brutto Amaro Alpino
Faccia Brutto Amaro Alpino is a bittersweet alpine amaro crafted in Brooklyn by former chef Patrick Miller, featuring 18 alpine botanicals including chicory root, rhubarb root, spruce buds, elecampane root, and eucalyptus. The botanicals are macerated in neutral grain spirit for two and a half weeks, then aged in ex-Bourbon barrels for approximately 16 months before being sweetened with organic dark clover honey and organic cane sugar. At 35% ABV, it delivers the intensely herbal, spicy, and savory profile characteristic of traditional alpine amari, making it ideal for digestif sipping or craft cocktails. This independent producer offers a sophisticated alternative to imported alpine amari, with a true-to-form flavor profile that appeals to both home enthusiasts and professional bartenders.
