Introduction:
Faccia Brutto Amaro Gorini is a small-batch, handcrafted amaro produced in Brooklyn, New York, by Faccia Brutto Spirits. This amaro is inspired by traditional Italian recipes but has a unique American twist, with a carefully curated mix of botanicals, including gentian, rhubarb root, cinnamon, and star anise, as well as citrus elements. Named after the founder’s family and crafted with a focus on natural ingredients, Amaro Gorini is a complex and balanced expression with a warm, spicy character and a bittersweet profile.

Appearance:
Deep amber with reddish-gold highlights, reflecting the botanical richness and slight syrupiness of the spirit.

Palate:
The palate opens with bold, bittersweet notes of citrus peel, primarily orange and lemon, balanced by a subtle sweetness. Gentian and rhubarb root deliver an earthy bitterness, while mid-palate, warm spices such as cinnamon, clove, and star anise emerge, giving it a slightly spiced, holiday-like warmth. A hint of licorice and floral elements adds depth, creating a full-bodied experience.

Body:
Medium to full-bodied with a smooth, slightly viscous texture. The well-rounded mouthfeel enhances the amaro’s layered flavors, creating a rich, balanced taste that coats the palate.

Finish:
The finish is long and bittersweet, with lingering notes of orange zest, gentle spice, and earthy bitterness from the roots. As the flavors fade, a warm and slightly dry sensation remains, with a touch of star anise and cinnamon lingering on the tongue.

Complexity:
Amaro Gorini is highly complex, with a balanced blend of citrus, spice, and herbal bitterness. Each sip reveals different nuances, showcasing a skillfully crafted mix of sweet, bitter, and spiced elements.

Overall Impressions:
Faccia Brutto Amaro Gorini is an aromatic and versatile amaro that honors Italian tradition with an inventive, Brooklyn-crafted twist. It’s enjoyable sipped neat as a digestif or on the rocks, and it also adds a dynamic depth to cocktails, particularly in Negronis and Manhattans. This amaro is perfect for those who appreciate a layered, warm, and bittersweet profile with a touch of spice and a nod to classic Italian flavors.
