TASTING NOTES

Created in 1861, Bitter Dolin is made from plants and spices such as bitter orange, gentian, cinchona, macerated in a mix of neutral alcohol and wine for long weeks. This bitter from Chambéry explores a whole fruity and floral register. The bitterness of its texture on the palate gradually transforms into honey.
A lighter, more subtle bitter than most of other products. It is the perfect balance between bitterness and sweetness. Great in cocktails as Negroni & Spritz, Bitter Dolin is also consumed as an aperitif, on ice, or even diluted with very cold sparkling water, with a slice of orange. This product stands out for its aromatic richness and its versatility in mixology.

Characteristics: Made from a base wine (Ugni blanc), enriched through maceration with around fifteen plants and spices such as wormwood, speedwell, rose, verbena, and yellow génépi. TASTING NOTES NOSE: A generous and complex bouquet. Citrus peels dominate, supported by menthol and balsamic nuances. In the background, almond and stone fruit aromas bring an elegant sweetness. PALATE: A velvety yet lively texture. The fresh and slightly bitter flavors of alpine plants balance with the roundness of almonds and dried fruits, offering refined vibrancy. FINISH: Persistent and subtle, with echoes of bitter citrus and an herbal touch reminiscent of the mountains. An aromatic signature that lingers in memory.

It is produced by the Distillerie Merlet & Fils with AMÉRISSE, who wanted to sublimate this fruit by combining it with several bitter plants such as gentian, angelica, mugwort and rhubarb to reinforce its natural astringency, and then with other berries and citrus fruits that increase its fruity flavours and complexity tenfold.
