Bitter Apéritif
Liqueur Amère au Cassis
Made from bitter plants
& blackcurrant berries
PRODUCT OF FRANCE
Amérisse,
is a bitter aperitif made from blackcurrant, bitter plants and various fruits.
It is produced by Distillerie Merlet & Fils, internationally known for its famous Crème de Cassis de Saintonge, for which berries are grown locally.
With AMERISSE, the family company sought to sublimate this fruit by combining it with several bitter plants such as gentian, angelica, sagebrush, and rhubarb to back its natural astringency, and then with other berries and citruses that enhance its fruity flavours and complexity.
