Beechworth Bitters started in 2020 as a project for Provenance chef and owner Michael Ryan in Victoria's Lockdown 2.0 to produce cocktail bitters from a long-forgotten purchase of bittering botanicals. Amari, the bitter Italian drinks of Italy, are the next logical (but more complex) step from cocktail bitters.

Part of a small series of Amaro, one Liqueur and two cocktail bitters, here is Michael's notes on A walk in the Black Forest below: 

A woody, spicy amaro with bright notes of cherry and cherry pit and base notes of cocoa, coffee and vanilla. Our second most bitter amaro. Sweetness comes from caramel, adding another layer of complexity.
