Tasting Notes

Peppermint (dominant, more than regular Fernet), menthol, bitter herbs, gentian, chocolate undertone, eucalyptus. More cooling and less aggressively bitter than standard Fernet-Branca. The mint provides a familiar entry point to the bitter herb matrix. Clean, long, minty finish.

Brand Guide

Primary: Fernet-Branca Menta ($25-30, the benchmark). Alternative: other mint fernet/amaro expressions ($20-30). No serious competitor to Branca Menta — same brand dominance as regular Fernet-Branca. The brand essentially owns both positions.
