While all amari are made from a blend of herbs, roots, and botanicals, fernet is distinguished by its bold, assertive bitterness, its cooling menthol character, and its reputation as the most powerful and effective digestif in the amaro family. The most famous fernet is Fernet-Branca, but the style has a long history of regional Italian producers, each with their own proprietary botanical blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is Tempus Fugit Spirits?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTempus Fugit Spirits\u003c\/strong\u003e (“time flies” in Latin) is an American importer and producer dedicated to reviving historically significant European liqueur and spirit recipes that had been lost, forgotten, or compromised by modern production shortcuts.
