25% ABV, 1000ml (litre bottle)
This is Campari with an additional 6 months aging in ex-Wild Turkey No. 4 Alligator casks. The highest level of char imparts both vanilla and smoke flavors, ensuring the maximum surface area to interact with the aperitivo. Bittersweet, with oak spice, smoke, and citrus aromas.
“Choose to your taste dried fruits, salty roasted pecans, natural roasted pistachios and sweet almonds. These dry fruit, sweet and salty flavors are the perfect pairing to Bourbon whisky and this special Campari Cask Tales finishing that takes woody, salty, bitter and vanilla notes from the barrels it is finished in.”
The unique expressions within the Campari Cask Tales Collection offer new routes to explore Campari
Campari’s story, beginning in 1860, is steeped in history, passion and creativity. It is here where founder Gaspare Campari invented a revolutionary liquid known for its unmistakable, vibrant red color and bitter taste – the celebrated Milanese bitter aperitif we know today.
After years of experimentation and in tribute to Gaspare Campari’s vision, Campari Cask Tales has been created. In this new collection Campari bitter has been patiently and expertly finished for around six months in carefully selected casks that have previously housed tequila, rum or bourbon.
Taking you on a journey across the globe, individual, complex profiles surface within each expression, complementing the signature taste of Campari bitter. A selection of the top notes of Campari bitter become more subtle, while new notes bring a unique twist. To discover these harmonious yet distinct flavors, enjoy neat or shaken over ice. Or – in the spirit of Gaspare Campari – use this collection as part of new creations.
