Spettro Amaro from 1220 Spirits is our first locally made amaro. This lively liqueur has a beautiful aroma of rhubarb, sarsaparilla, mint, thyme, rosemary and vanilla. On the palate, it is more intense with clove, allspice, licorice, chicory and mint, while bitter chocolate and cinnamon linger on the tongue. Savor a neat pour after your next big meal.
$40. Available at Intoxicology in St. Louis
