🥃 The Inspiration: Amaretto on Ice
The dark side of the almond. Bitter Almond Liqueur captures the boozy, cherry-like scent of Amaretto liqueur. It is sharp, sweet, and intoxicating.

Bitter Almond dominates, smelling intensely of cherries and pits. A Rum accord adds booziness. The heart is Apricot and Davana. The base is Vanilla and Oak. It is rich and syrupy.
