96 points Wine Enthusiast: "Tawny and bright in the glass, this mellow, bittersweet beauty offers caramel and vanilla, braced by allspice and bitter orange. Although Nonino is best known for its grappas, this amaro, flavored with herbs from the mountains of Friuli, is worth seeking out. Consider it for dessert pairings or an edgy spin on a negroni.

This is the fabulous Kina l'Avion d'Or. Watch out Lillet and Cocchi Americano, this is a traditional Kina Aperitif recipe coming from a hundred year old recipe from a distillery in Switzerland. Richer than expected, it doesn't have the light heartedness of the Americano, but it certainly makes up for it in term of depth. The nose is deeply perfumed and wild! The palate has the perfect interplay between bitter and sweet. This is sure to be a classic.

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "New to the U.S. market in 2012, this 'dry' Curaçao is intriguing and should work well as a sophisticated sweetener alongside bitter-edged spirits and darker, biting spirits like rye whiskey.

From Hope Ewing at PunchDrink.com: "Newest on the scene, imported from the Dolomite mountain region of Italy by Haus Alpenz since late 2014, is the Elisir Novasalus Vino Amaro from Cappelletti. This amaro—unique even for its place of origin—starts when dry marsala wine is fortified and aromatized with a long list of plants from the surrounding high Alps and flavored with pine sap from Sicily. What comes across is a somewhat confounding salty, pine-y bitterness that sticks in the throat—something of the final frontier for tree spirits."

From the exceptional team at Tempus Fugit Spirits, this authentic Violette recipe stands out from the crowd of other violet liqueurs. Officially distinct from what's available, the Tempus Fugit Violettes is classified as a liqueur rather than a crème. This means less sugar. Light and ethereal, it does not come off as soapy or overly aromatic. In addition, the use of cochineal for coloring means that no artificial dye is needed. Clearly one of the best violettes on the market despite not adhering to the category's standardized color scheme.
