Amari, the plural for amaro, is an attractive category of Italian herbal liqueurs renowned for their complex flavors and rich history. Derived from the Italian word for “bitter,” Amari are characterized by their distinctive bitter-sweet taste profile, achieved through the infusion of countless botanicals and herbs.

Traditionally enjoyed as a digestive, sipped after a meal to aid digestion, Amari has recently surged in popularity as a versatile standalone sipper. Each amaro boasts a unique blend of ingredients, including roots, barks, citrus peels, spices, and aromatic herbs, resulting in a diverse spectrum of flavors ranging from floral and citrusy to earthy and spicy.

Despite their bitter undertones, Amari offers a delightful depth of flavor that appeals to discerning palates. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks or capturing the essence of its diverse regions, Amari continues to captivate enthusiasts with their intriguing complexity and cultural significance. Malta produces a few indigenous Amari, namely Lejla and Pomegranate.

So, whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or a curious newcomer, exploring the world of Amari promises a tantalizing adventure for your taste buds.
