25% ABV, 1000ml (litre bottle)
Campari aged for 6 months in ex-Appleton Estate rum casks. Tropical fruit notes, sweet spices, and the herbaceous, bittersweet red and citrus fruits of Campari blend seamlessly.
“Perfectly pair this finish with a mono-region, Carribean, first-harvest 100% cocoa choccolate. The 0% fat level in this chocolate delivers a delicately light acidity with losts of bitterness. The warmness & caramel from the Rum Finish balance perfectly with this light acidity and fruitiness. In turn, the liquid takes warmness from the cocoa to lengthen the overall tasting experience.”
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.
