broVo SpiritsAmaro 05Mhairi Voelsgen, founderand CEO of BROVOsPlRlTS in Woodinville,Washington, is a pioneer
in the local amaro spiritcategory.
Branding her spiritsas "lady-made liquor,"Voelsgen has also made
waves by reaching out toWest Coast mixologistsand askingthem to help
create their interpretationsof amaro, the classic
Italian bitter and digestif.Recognized Seattle craft bartender Sara
Fisher put her spin on the Amaro 05 it has a rhubarb base
(like all brovo amari), and combines traditional notes ofgentian and juniper with a Northwest flair of wild nettles,
dried apples, rose hips and marioram with a warm spice
finish of cloves.The complex flavors ofthis spirit make it a perfect match
for a smooth bourbon in a newly imagined lYanhattan.
