What is Faccia Brutto Centerbe Herbal Liqueur?
Faccia Brutto Centerbe Herbal Liqueur is a vibrant green Italian-style amaro made in Brooklyn, New York, that blends 20 different herbs and botanicals for a complex, bittersweet flavor profile. Interestingly, the recipe for this modern American take on a traditional Italian liqueur was inspired by a 400-year-old monastic formula, highlighting the enduring appeal of these time-honored herbal elixirs.
Why do we love Faccia Brutto Centerbe Herbal Liqueur?
Cocktail enthusiasts should seek out Faccia Brutto Centerbe for its distinctively herbaceous profile, crafted with over 20 organic herbs and botanicals sourced from small Italian farms. This Brooklyn-made liqueur stands out from typical spirits with its bright, verdant flavor and its roots in the centuries-old Italian tradition of centerbe ("hundred herbs"), offering bartenders and home mixologists a versatile, artisanal alternative to mass-produced herbal liqueurs.
How do you drink Faccia Brutto Centerbe Herbal Liqueur?
Faccia Brutto Centerbe Herbal Liqueur shines when sipped neat at room temperature, allowing its complex herbal flavors to fully unfold on the palate. It also makes a refreshing summer sipper over ice or as a key ingredient in aromatic cocktails, particularly those with gin or vodka bases, and pairs wonderfully with rich, creamy cheeses or light, herb-forward Mediterranean dishes.
Nose: Fresh herbs dominate, with notes of mint, thyme, and sage. A hint of citrus zest and pine needles adds brightness. Underlying whispers of anise and fennel provide depth.
Palate: Bold and herbaceous. Mint and eucalyptus create a cooling sensation. Chamomile and lemon balm offer a tea-like quality. Gentian root contributes a pleasant bitterness. Light sweetness balances the herbal intensity.
Finish: Long and warming. Peppermint and licorice linger. A subtle earthiness reminiscent of fresh-cut grass emerges. The bitterness fades, leaving a clean, refreshing aftertaste with hints of rosemary and lavender.
Faccia Brutto Centerbe Herbal Liqueur is crafted using a blend of 23 organic herbs and botanicals, including juniper, mint, and sage, which are carefully macerated in a neutral grain spirit. This vibrant green liqueur is then bottled at a potent 70 proof, allowing the complex herbal flavors to shine through while maintaining a balanced, sippable profile.
