A bitter alpine herbal liqueur from Bordiga of Cuneo, in the Piedmontese Alps — the house founded in 1888 by Torino bartender Pietro Bordiga, who located his distillery near the Occitan Alps for their wild botanicals, and whose great-grandson Pietro still lives above the distillery today. "Centum Herbis" is Latin for "one hundred herbs" — a style traditionally made by monks and consumed in the Alps of France and Italy (Chartreuse is another example). Botanicals — mint leaves, thyme, genepy, juniper, Artemisia absinthium, fennel, lavender, genzianella, china bark, gentiana, mace, and eucalyptus — are individually infused for 20-50 days, rested, blended with alpine water and beet sugar, and rested again. Many wild plants are still picked by hand in the nearby Alps, and everything is made in-house from old recipes written by the founder himself.
ABV: 28% (56 Proof) • Alpine botanicals, individually infused 20-50 days • Bordiga, est. 1888 • 700ML
