FERNET HUNTER

Fernet Hunter’s dryness, increased bitter notes, and decreased sugar content make it unique.Fernet Hunter is a fresh take on a classic Italian bitter. Using a recipe that dates back to the early 1900’s, this aromatic spirit is made from a select combination of botanicals, including Arnica, Orrisroot, and Lavender, which are found in and around the Austrian town and forest of Brunnwald.
These herbs and spices are handpicked and dried during the hunting season, hence the name Fernet Hunter. Utilizing a low-temperature infusion method, the true essence of each ingredient is extracted, which gives Fernet Hunter its unique character and balance.

Established in collaboration between father and son (Holzer and Holzer), Fernet Hunter combines centuries of experience in distilling and alcohol trade with a modern approach in bartending. Fernet Hunter can be enjoyed in many ways, but it’s best consumed chilled – with soda, tea, or in cocktails.
Arnica – Indigenous to mountainous regions, arnica is a herbaceous plant in the sunflower family. It’s roots and flowers are known for their medicinal properties and are used in Fernet Hunter to provide a distinct herbal undertone to the spirit.

Orris Root – Found on the steep slopes of the Alps, orris root petals bring bittersweet notes and a violet-like aroma to Fernet Hunter. The root enhances the other herbs and spices used to make the spirit.

Lavender — At home in the rocky soil of The Muehlviertel (upper Austria), lavender buds provide the aromatic quality to Fernet Hunter. Beyond the pleasant aromatics, the lavender also works as a tonic to settle the stomach when consumed after meals.
