The story

What you're tasting

American corn-based whiskey, aged in new charred oak barrels.

Bourbon Whiskey, the American spirit, entered the Italian bar scene via the grand hotels of Rome and Venice, catering to American tourists and expatriates. It found a permanent place in the "Boulevardier," a Negroni variation created for Americans in Paris but adopted by Italian bartenders.
