Arcane Distilling - Fernet (750ml)
Product Details
With a hearty gentian base note, Arcane Fernet was designed from the ground up to pay homage to its traditional bitter origins, but with an eye on refinement. The bitterness of the gentian is aided by 3 different types of citrus peel for a more nuanced, deeper bitter that steers away from astringency.
Amaro are known for being sweet, but there's no reason for them to be syrupy. Using an old candy-maker's secret, the sugar content of Arcane Fernet is dramatically reduced without compromising on flavor. The other not-so-secret "sweet" ingredient is our peppermint. While not contributing any actual sugar, the delicate flavor of the peppermint botanicals cleanly rounds out the spirit leaving your palette refreshed.
Fernet isn't all about bitterness, the famous herbal quality of the amaro hearkens back to its medicinal origins. With Arcane Fernet we focused on the stomach soothing nature of a traditional digestif amaro. With this in mind, we sought out herbs known for their gentle nature, including one fairly unusual one - hop flowers. Arcane has 3 different varieties in every batch and it works out beautifully.
One of the biggest complaints in our, uh, "research" was what we came to call "fernet-face". It was the grimace that folks invariably made after downing a shot of fernet. To fix this we went right to the core of the matter - the alcohol used in the maceration itself. Instead of any old neutral spirit, Arcane Fernet is crafted with spirits distilled in-house on lab-grade stills. Science - helping prevent "fernet-face" one shot at a time.
The research done for the the "Great Bet of 2015" yielded a lot of interesting results, but one in particular stood out - ALL amaro need balance. The ingredients and technique need to come together - layered on top of each other, to give the spirit the class and intrigue that amaro are known for. With Arcane Fernet, we think we've done just that.
