If you really want to nerd out on amaro taxonomy, Brad Thomas Parsons's books on amaro and bitters are both quite useful; linked below.Resources⁠Become a paid subscriber of Reversing Climate ChangeA Good Drink: In Search of Sustainable Spirits by Shanna FarrellShanna Farrell's websiteAmaro: The Spirited World of Bittersweet, Herbal Liqueurs by Brad Thomas ParsonsCrushed: How A Changing Climate Is Altering the Way We Drink by Brian FreedmanFollow the Reversing Climate Change podcast on LinkedIn
