Fernet-Branca, Italian Herbal Liqueur, 70cl, 39% ABV, Digestif Liqueur with Deep, Woody Notes, Bitter Finish, 27 Herbs and Spices, Secret Recipe, Ideal as Amaro Digestivo or in Cocktails, Gift Idea

If you want to get rid of guest fast then keep a bottle of this handy. It may be a great herbal liquor but no one will want more than one shot of this stuff.

Love this stuff, having discovered it on ships. I've never suffered from sea-sickness but a wee dram can definitely pick you up when a storm is raging and leaving you a bit tired. It's basically like Jägermeister without the sugar, in terms of taste, although that doesn't do justice to it's effects, and Jägermeister is no substitute for Fernet Branca. It's a proper bitter digestif made from a gazillion exotic and potent herbs, roots & barks, originally devised in the 19th century to fight cholera if I'm not mistaken. It's widely popular outside the UK, especially after heavy meals or heavy nights, and it definitely works to calm the effects of both. It's basically the healthiest 40% spirit you can drink! A little goes a long way and I fully expect this bottle to last me at least 6 months. The taste can take some getting used to, although a few drops of creme de menthe go a long way to making it more palatable for novices; also, a milder minty version called "Branca Menta" is produced by the same firm. Chilling it well also softens it's bite. It's an ideal gift for somebody who claims to have tasted/drunk everything, or who appreciates good food but sometimes struggles afterwards. Only quibble is that it's readily available in many Italian/Spanish/German supermarkets (and the on the corresponding Amazon sites) for about 15 Euros, whilst we have to pay almost twice that. Looked at ordering it from Amazon Germany but postage also 15 Euros, so no advantage there...

Well, this drink is definitely an acquired taste. It reminds me of the time I first tried Benidictine 45 years ago. I found that unpleasant but now it is my favourite. Spirit. This drink is nothing like Benidictine. My first impressions are that it seems to have a bit of an aniseed taste with faint cloves. I can see that it is a digestif for the stomach, an after meal sipper. Not one to take to a party. Would I buy it again? I will only be able to answer that when I have finished the bottle but I do have expectations this one will grow on me. Definitely worth trying.

I have purchased this before and had it as a digestif in Italy and found it very strong and enjoyable. However, after a trip to Argentina I have discovered that they mix it with Coca-Cola like fanatics and I became hooked. The mint and bitterness combined with the sweet Coca-Cola is the perfect summer refresher and if you look passed the weird scum it makes in the glass, it is a nice way to sip a summers afternoon away. On its own, I enjoy it but only in moderation! It helps with stomach issues after a long or greasy meal and I think it is worth the money to have a bottle tucked in the cupbaord for special occasions. Mixed or neat, definitely a great drink if not an acquired taste. But it is certainly a taste I have acquired!

bought this for my husband who loves a good Fernet with Coca Cola!

I drink this straight after a heavy meal as a digestif, it works well, probably due to peppermint in it. I have also drank it the Argentinian way (Salud!) and it is rather compelling, and the flavours, sweetness of the cola etc is balanced really well by the bitterness of the Fernet. I don't drink fizzy drinks like Coke much though for health reasons, otherwise I would drink more this way. Overall a great digestif, and very unique, but is an acquired taste so try and sample it before if you can.

Fernet Branca is an exceptional Italian digestif that stands out in the world of spirits. Its distinct blend of herbs and spices creates a complex, multi-layered flavor profile that is both intriguing and satisfying. At 39% ABV, it's strong but not overpowering, making it a perfect after-dinner drink. The taste is an acquired one - initially bitter with hints of myrrh, rhubarb, chamomile, and a subtle undertone of saffron. However, the complexity of flavors unfolds beautifully, leaving a long-lasting, pleasantly herbal aftertaste. Fernet Branca is not just a beverage; it's an experience, best enjoyed slowly to appreciate its depth and character. It's also versatile, serving as an excellent base for cocktails. While it may not cater to everyone's palate, for those who appreciate bitter, herbal spirits, Fernet Branca is a must-try. Its reputation as a digestif that aids digestion is a bonus, making it a staple in my home bar.
