Distilleria Buiese - 'Lusor', Amaro, Friulano, Italy

TASTING NOTES

A slightly spicy amaro, with a bitter Frangelico kind of vibe, this has oodles of baking spices, mint, chinotto bark, blood orange, toasted hazelnut and candied lemon. 

Lusôr means 'light' in the Friulian language and this has 30 herbs infused for at least 3 months in alcohol, then pressed and aged for more than 6 months.

Three generations of distillers. In 1918, the progenitor, Giuseppe Buiese, having worked as an apprentice in a famous Milanese distillery bought his first distillery from Count Miani near Martignacco.

In 1962 his son Remo expanded its volumes to meet the growing demand for grappa. Today the tradition continues with Cristiano, their son, a graduate in Food Science and Technology.
