One more to review (says she giving her spittoon side eye). Unless another amaro shows up before the end of the week. I’ll taste it! Not that this assignment was displeasurable! Into this. If mint, kumquats, and undisclosed herbs had a love child that is this. One of the lightest and brightest. Sunshine out of the Czech Republic. Another fave. — 8 years ago
