Price Statistics

Description

Brucato Chaparral stands out as a bright, high-energy amaro that prioritizes freshness and herbal lift over heavy sweetness. Its elevated proof and layered botanicals make it both a compelling sipper and a powerful cocktail ingredient. A modern, West Coast interpretation that resonates strongly with today’s amaro and cocktail audience. Use it in place of Chartreuse, Strega, or Becherovka! Origins & Craftsmanship Produced in San Francisco, Brucato Chaparral draws inspiration from California’s coastal chaparral ecosystem—defined by wild herbs, bay, and sun-dried vegetation. The base is a California grape distillate, infused with a complex blend of botanicals including yerba santa, spearmint, cardamom, bay leaf, and anise. The botanicals are processed through staged maceration to extract both bright aromatics and deeper herbal structure. Bottled at a notably high proof for the category, the amaro is non-chill filtered and naturally colored, preserving texture and intensity. The result is a profile that is greener, fresher, and more aromatic than traditional darker, cola-driven amari.
