Imperial Measures Distillery Rapture Amaro Digestif
Rapture is a digestivo-style amaro made with botanicals including gentian, local citrus, roasted wattleseed, beetroot, hibiscus and cacao. Jammy red fruits and bright, floral hibiscus dominate the nose, along with the earthiness of beetroot and roasty, sweet notes coming from cacao and wattleseed. The complexity and integration of flavour on the nose is spot on, offering an Arnott’s Spicy Fruit Roll biscuit warmth that’s immediately inviting. Light and sweet on the palate, with the cacao and wattleseed dominating, there’s just enough bitterness here to bring you back for more. Often when local producers set out to make new versions of old-world spirits, there’s an attitude of 'more is better', leading to a somewhat ham-fisted approach. This is the opposite, showing real restraint and subtlety. If you like Averna, or any classic digestive-style amari that leans sweeter, this is a must try.
