  Fernet Branca Italian Bitter 70 cl 39%

  Item no.: 22227865479-7200

  In the busy streets of Milan, bartenders have for generations kept a dark bottle behind the counter, the one regulars order with a nod rather than a name.

  Expert description

  Fernet Branca is an Italian bitter at 39% ABV, created in 1845 by Bernardino Branca in Milan. The recipe holds 27 different herbs and secret spices, and the bottle has carried its iconic eagle trademark since 1905, now recognised the world over. This 70 cl bottle is the house cornerstone, the classic size around which both restaurants and private collectors build their bar. In Argentina, Fernet Branca has become part of daily life, mixed with cola in what locals call "fernet con coca".

  Palate

  Powerful and complex, with saffron, myrrh and rhubarb unfolding slowly on the tongue.

  Finish

  Long, dry and herbally bitter, with a touch of warm spice.

  Fernet Branca Miniature Italian Bitter 10 cl 39%

  Item no.: 059763-615-1088

  Milan, 1845. A self-taught herbalist blends 27 secret ingredients into a bitter so dark and complex that the recipe remains a closely guarded family secret to this day.

  Expert Description

  Fernet Branca Miniature Italian Bitter is an Italian Bitter from Fratelli Branca, bottled at 39% in a handy 10cl bottle.

  It all began with Bernardino Branca, a self-taught herbalist who in 1845 created a bitter from 27 different herbs and spices sourced from around the world, a recipe that has never been published since. His sons Luigi, Giuseppe and Stefano later took over the business and built it into the institution it is today. In 1905, the bottle received its now-iconic trademark, an eagle with outstretched wings gripping a bottle above the globe.

  This miniature bottle carries the exact same recipe and strength as the full 70cl bottle, just in a format that is perfect for tasting your way in or taking along on the road.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Dark, dry herbs with a hint of liquorice and orange peel, underpinned by a deep, almost medicinal bitterness.

  Palate

  Intensely bitter from the first sip, with notes of myrrh and cinnamon. A warm, golden spiciness, likely from saffron, mingles with a touch of menthol.

  Finish

  Long and dry, with a trace of root and herbs that lingers on the palate.

  Fernet Branca Vintage Bottling Italian Bitter 70 cl 42%

  Item no.: 2211165479-7211

  Somewhere in Milan, not far from the Duomo, a recipe has been locked in a safe since 1845 - accessible to exactly one person in the entire company. Five generations of the Branca family later, that hasn't changed.

  Expert Description

  Fernet-Branca is an Italian Bitter built on more than 27 herbs, roots and spices, bottled at 42%.

  This is not the bottle sitting in your local wine shop's fridge today. It's an older German-market bottling, distributed by Fratelli Branca GmbH in Weinstadt-Großheppach, with Weinbrennerei Jacobi KG named on the label - a period when Fernet-Branca for the German market was bottled at 42% and sold under a label design that has long since been discontinued. The details give it away: the oval "Stammhaus gegr. 1845" seal with the eagle on the globe, the lengthy authenticity text warning against imitations, and the barcode printed at the bottom of the back label.

  The liquid inside hasn't changed with the label, though. Rhubarb from China, gentian from France, galangal from India or Sri Lanka, chamomile from Europe and Argentina, myrrh and saffron - ingredients sourced across continents, macerated and distilled, then rested in oak casks for roughly a year before the flavour is allowed to settle.

  Taste

  The nose is heavy and herbal, with a hint of mint and citrus before the bitterness properly announces itself. On the palate it's dark and complex - myrrh and saffron bring spiced depth, while rhubarb and gentian pull a sharp, clean bitterness through the whole sip. The finish is long, faintly menthol, and dry, with a sweetness that never quite takes over.
