Fast Penny Amaricano Bianca
Fast Penny Amaricano Bianca is American amaro in white — a 60-proof (30% ABV) bright-yellow aperitivo-style liqueur in a 750mL bottle from Seattle's Fast Penny Spirits. Where the original Amaricano is dark and bitter, Bianca is built from 45 botanicals — saffron, hops, black truffles, chamomile, and more — on a distilled West Coast grape base: candied lemon, apricot, and floral chamomile up front, finishing with a tart, dandelion-bitter brightness. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Amaro, American-Made
Fast Penny's founder built Amaricano on her Sicilian heritage and a Seattle address — and Bianca is the sunnier sibling: less bitter than the original, sweeter and more perfumed, with a saffron glow that reads like a softer Strega. A portion of revenue supports women-focused nonprofits. Explore the Fast Penny collection or browse Del Mesa's liqueurs.
Tasting Notes
Candied lemon and chamomile tea dominate the nose with saffron emerging; sweet and herbal on the palate — golden raisin, mandarin, bergamot — finishing with ample saffron and a tart, dandelion-green bitterness (per press and retailer consensus).
How to Enjoy
The aperitivo hour pour: over ice with soda and a lemon twist, or as a white Negroni with gin and dry vermouth. Neat after dinner for the full botanical read.
