27 Herbs & Spices from Four Continents, Aged at Least One Year in Oak
Fratelli Branca Fernet-Branca Liqueur 375ml is a bold, bitter liqueur made in Milan, Italy—first created in 1845 and still produced with a closely guarded family recipe. This Fernet-Branca liqueur is famous across Europe and America for its intense herbal character and very low sweetness.
Built from 27 herbs and spices sourced from four continents—like aloe (South Africa), rhubarb (China), gentian (France), galingale (India or Sri Lanka), and chamomile (Italy or Argentina)—it’s then aged at least one year in oak barrels for a light brown color with amber tones and a penetrating, balanced aroma.
The bottle looks sharp on any back bar: dark glass, a bold cream label, and the iconic eagle crest—instantly recognizable and made for people who like their flavors strong and honest.
