Introducing a rare creation – a collection which expertly finishes Campari bitter in specially selected ex-American Bourbon, Jamaica Rum and Mexican Tequila casks.
The result is a range of expressions evoking tales from across the globe.
In creating this new collection Campari Herbalist& Master Blender, Bruno Malavasi used his knowledge of each liquid and the processes used to create them to predict how their profiles could add a new twist and depth to the signature DNA of Campari bitter.
Well-used casks are individually chosen for each finishing to ensure that the flavor from the previous liquids shines through in each expression. Once selected, these barrels are transported to the home of Campari: Italy, where the finishing process then takes place under the care of Bruno’s team before bottling.
After stringent testing, the optimum time for finishing was found to be around six months. This timeframe allows for individual, complex profiles to surface in each expression without overpowering the unmistakeable Campari bitter taste. Each barrel is tasted before bottling to ensure the perfect balance has been met.
