Gentian Amaro

Yellow gentian is one of the best-known alpine plants – and also one of the most bitter. Traditionally, gentian spirits are made by fermenting and distilling the root. However, this process removes all natural bitter compounds.

Felsenriss Gentian Schnapps is made differently. We extract yellow gentian roots in our own handcrafted apple brandy. This way, both the full aroma and the distinctive bitter notes of the root are preserved. The apple brandy adds a fresh, fruity character, while the gentian brings earthy depth.
