Spicy sweet herbal aromas dance in the glass. The medium viscosity texture is mildly honey sweet with intense herbal botanicals giving endless depth to each sip. Bitter lemon, oregano and cinnamon all mix to make a delicious combination. - 2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge (Excellent, Highly Recommended).April/2019

Our Founder Stanislao Cobianchi wanted to create a bottle as unique as the elixir it contains. This called for something different, something distinct. And thus, our iconic bottle was born. Although revisited over the years, it has and will always keep its distinctive vial characteristic, reminiscent of a potion conjured through alchemy. Our liquor was born in 1885 with the name Elisir Lungavita and immediately received notable recognition. 11 years later, marking the marriage of the charming Princess Elena of Montenegro to Prince Vittorio Emanuele III, Stanislao decided to dedicate his storied elixir to her royal highness, changing it’s name to Amaro Montenegro.
