Botanika Angelica Amaro is a Polish herbal liqueur from the creators of Chopin Vodka. Unlike sweeter Italian amari, it leans toward a dry, apothecary-style profile, balancing complex meadow botanicals with a punchy, bitter-herbal structure.
It is built on Chopin Rye Vodka. Sixteen herbs, spices and fruits are macerated separately for about eight weeks, and the blend is aged for a year in 50-year-old Polish oak vats.
It pours a clear, medium amber. The nose is soft, with bright herbaceous aromas of anise, cinnamon, thyme and rosemary and hints of lavender.
On the palate it is dry and herb-forward, with cinnamon, nutmeg, anise, gentian root and black peppercorn.
It is a striking bottle for amaro lovers looking for something drier and more bitter than the classics.

How to Enjoy It
Serve Botanika Angelica Amaro neat or over a large ice cube as a digestif, with a twist of orange peel to lift the herbs. It makes a bracing aperitivo topped with tonic or soda water and a sprig of rosemary. In cocktails, use it in a Black Manhattan with rye whiskey, or in place of the amaro in a Paper Plane or a Negroni variation for a drier, more herbal result. Pair it with dark chocolate, roasted nuts, charcuterie or aged cheeses. Keep the bottle in a cool, dark place after opening.
