Nose:

Since 1850, the Merlet family has been crafting spirits in the Cognac region with passion and exacting standards. Every step of their expertise aims to reveal the essence of the fruit in its purest form, from harvest to bottle.
With Amérisse, the Maison sought to revive the bitter French aperitifs of the 19th century, where fruits and herbs were balanced in simple, time-honored recipes. The Amérisse family was born from this desire to restore a French soul to the aperitif, one that is both artisanal and modern.
Following Amérisse Cassis, Amérisse Orange Amère was born: a bitter with a characteristic color, both fresh and balanced. More immediate and approachable, it remains true to the house's artisanal standards and lends itself equally well to Spritzes and long drinks.
