Our first review is in! Thank you to NZ's only Master Sommelier, Cameron Douglas (Camdouglasms.com) for his recent review of the new Aotearoa Bitters Company Negroni! You can check out the full review at his website but we wanted to draw your attention to the last couple of lines...

"A classic expression begging for some ice and a slice of orange. Serve chilled, serve often."

We couldn't have said it better ourselves, thanks again!

You can buy ABC Negroni at some great bottle stores around NZ and in a six pack using the link in our comments!

Introducing Amaro #1, our very first Amaro! We gave guests to Aperitivo Aotearoa a little taste of this in both Auckland and Welington and it was an abosolute hit... And now it's finally ready to send out the door!

Amaro #1 is a new-world vin amaro (that is to say it has a w**e base) flavoured with oranges and figs from our garden and a hint of Iranian saffron. It uses cinchona bark and rhubarb for bitterness and is bottled at 18% ABV so it's much less w**e-like, more aggressively bitter and a little bit boozier than our vermouth!

It is truly delicious both as an aperitif with a splash of soda or tonic and a orange wedge or as a digestif, served ice cold at the end of a meal.

We only made 100 bottles of this so get in quick... It is available in our 3 or six bottle mixed packs: cultw**e.co.nz/products/known-unknown-pick-n-mix-six-pack

Want to taste it? It's one of the w**es we'll be featuring at our Vermut y Tacos event at Tacoteca at the start of September! Book now: https://events.humanitix.com/tacos

Our first orders of ABC (Aotearoa Bitters Company) bitters ship today!

We’re launching with two delicious products:
Classic Orange Bitters which will add a citrus pop to any drink and is made with Taranaki-grown oranges and angelica with a hint of aromatic cardamom for lift!

Cacao & Vanilla Bitters which adds richness and complexity to any drink and is made with MALVA Chocolate cacao, Heilala vanilla, a touch of cinnamon for warmth and Taranaki-grown angelica for bitterness.

Together these join our phenomenal Negroni as our core products but don’t worry, we have some seasonal bitters right around the corner!

Look for these at great bars, bottle stores and restaurants.

Want to add one to your home bar? You can order them online via cultw**e.co.nz

Come join us on Thursday 3 September from 6pm for a casual tasting hosted by Known Unknown W**emaker Jules van Costello and acclaimed sommelier and Tacoteca owner Edmundo Farrera. You will be guided through three of Known Unknown's signature vermouth and amaro served in a range of styles. These will be accompanied by two tacos from the stunning Tacoteca kitchen. Feel free to stay on after the tasting, Jules and 'Mundo will be pouring w**e and slinging tacos all night.
