Felix Bigallet - 'China-China' Amer Bitter Liqueur (750ML)

Bigallet’s Amer Bigallet is a beautifully complex French liqueur, crafted since 1875 with a unique blend of sweet and bitter orange peels, macerated and redistilled in traditional alembic stills. The result is an aromatic bouquet of citrus, quinine, and winter spices, including gentian, clove, and cinchona bark. On the palate, it reveals layers of bitter orange, liquorice, and bold spices like cardamom, black pepper, and cinnamon, with a satisfyingly long finish. Its herbal, bittersweet character makes it an ideal substitution for Amer Picon, perfect for enhancing cocktails or sipping on its own. A true classic with a modern twist, offering depth and complexity in every drop.
