Fernet del Frate Angelico

This Fernet is of extremely high quality and sets the bar very high for others on the market. Made in micro-batches by hand at the Matter Distillery in Switzerland following an original, hand-written recipe attributed to a monk called Frate Angelico Fernet, this Italian concoction is perfect in cocktails but wonderful on its own as well. 

Deep colored, almost black, 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.

This amazing liqueur can be sipped on its own, but shines in skillfully-made cocktails, especially the Employees Only and the Toronto. Tempting to take straight as a shot, if one stops to savor it, Fernet del Frate Angelico will instantly become the go-to sipper for the first and the last drink of the night.
