Process & Profile
Gran Classico Bitter is crafted based on a 19th-century recipe from Turin, Italy, revived and refined by Tempus Fugit Spirits in Switzerland. It’s made using an infusion of 25 aromatic herbs and roots including wormwood, gentian, bitter orange peel, and rhubarb, all macerated in alcohol and naturally colored with caramelized sugar.
