Fernet del Frate Angelico is deep-colored, almost black from the extensive recipe herb-bill, with golden reflections from the expensive addition of fine saffron; there is no additional coloring added.
The saffron aromas mix with lightly mentholated and medicinal notes. The bitterness is immediately detected on the first sip but evolves with light mint, menthol flavors that are surprisingly balanced and a subtle sweetness carries the finish on for a long while, as the bitterness becomes surprisingly engaging.
