Fernet-Vallet Amaro Licor Aperitivo

Fernet-Vallet Amaro Licor Aperitivo is a bold and complex Mexican digestif crafted in the classic Italian fernet style. Created by the Vallet family, renowned for their artisanal liqueurs since 1864, this amaro is made using macerations of hand-selected bitter herbs, roots, and spices in a neutral spirit base, then rested in oak to develop depth and character.

On the nose, it delivers intense aromas of dried herbs, anise, mint, and warm spices. The palate is full-bodied and robust, showcasing layers of bitter botanicals, dark chocolate, espresso, clove, and cinnamon, with a long, lingering finish that balances bitterness with subtle sweetness. Bottled at 35% ABV, it is powerful yet refined.

Traditionally enjoyed as a post-meal digestif, Fernet-Vallet is also prized by bartenders for its ability to add bold herbal complexity to cocktails like a Toronto, a Fernet & Cola, or creative amaro-forward creations. Distinctive and authentic, it stands as Mexico’s answer to the world’s great amaros.
