Tempus Fugit Gran classico Bitter

Tempus Fugit Gran Classico Bitter is the bottle that gave bartenders a genuinely compelling alternative to Campari — and changed how the world thinks about the golden-amber Negroni. A 97-point bitter aperitif liqueur created following the original "Italian Bitter of Turin" recipe dating from the 1860s, first produced under the name Torino Gran Classico before the recipe was purchased in 1925 by the small Swiss distillery Matter-Luginbühl AG where it was quietly produced for local consumption for decades before Tempus Fugit brought it to the world. Made from a maceration of 25 aromatic herbs and roots — wormwood, gentian, bitter orange peel, rhubarb, hyssop, and many more — the maceration itself creates the naturally attractive golden-amber color with no artificial coloring added whatsoever. The result is decidedly more complex than Campari and closer in character to Cynar — bittersweet, vegetal, and deeply layered. F. Paul Pacult's Spirit Journal named it one of the 130 Best Spirits in the World in 2010, writing that the entry is all about rhubarb up front before gentian dominates midpalate and orange peel comes rushing back on the finish alongside a piney, resiny quality that makes the aftertaste smashingly delicious — "Campari drinkers take note: the ultimate expression of Bitter." The nose presents multi-faceted bittersweet orange peel, gentian root, wormwood, rhubarb, and vanilla, while the deep layered finish alternates beautifully between sweet and bitter. Bottled at 28% ABV. Build a golden Negroni that will make people ask what you used. Buy Tempus Fugit Gran Classico Bitter online with fast shipping right to your door.
