Tasting Notes
Appearance
This distinctive Melbourne-crafted barrel-aged Negroni presents a deep, rich ruby-amber colour with warm mahogany depth and brilliant clarity, displaying the exceptional character that only a minimum of two months ageing in hand-coopered French oak barrels can impart — a beautifully refined and visually striking cocktail that is best served over a single, large and clear ice cube for maximum visual appeal and effective chilling.
Aroma
The nose is complex and immediately captivating, with the unmistakable character of Campari taking centre stage alongside the aromatic, coriander-driven botanicals of Victoria’s award-winning Original Spirit Co. gin and a citrus-driven vermouth blend that is very reminiscent of marmalade in its unblended form. The French oak barrel ageing adds a subtle warmth and roundness to the aromatic profile, creating a sophisticated and beautifully layered bouquet of genuine distinction.
Palate
Refined and beautifully balanced on the palate, with the classic Negroni triumvirate of Campari, gin and vermouth delivering the necessary edges and complexity that define the style, softened and rounded by a minimum of two months in French oak. At 24.9% ABV, this expertly crafted blend requires no additional dilution — simply pour over a large, crystal-clear ice cube and garnish with orange for the perfect finishing touch.
Pairs With
This exceptional barrel-aged Negroni is a natural companion to charcuterie, aged cheeses, dark chocolate, orange-based desserts, antipasto, or enjoyed as a sophisticated aperitif before dinner, making it ideal for entertaining, gifting and any occasion that calls for a consistently perfect, Melbourne-crafted Negroni of genuine character and distinction.
