Brucato Amaro Oro Y Fierro Kumquat Liqueur
Oro y Fierro takes its name from San Francisco's own city motto — "Oro en Paz, Fierro en Guerra," or "Gold in Peace, Iron in War" — a nod to the contrast Brucato was going for: bright and bold, smooth yet a little fiery. The liqueur centers on Nagami kumquats, a fruit that arrived in California from China back in the 1880s as an ornamental tree before anyone thought to eat them; Brucato sources theirs from farms around the state, slices and dries them in-house, then macerates them alongside dried California orange peel in unaged grape brandy. Imbibe Magazine described a juicy citrus aroma with a hint of baking spice and a pleasingly bittersweet character overall. Christopher Null at Drinkhacker was more puzzled by it — he found real complexity (citrus, spice, an unexpected black tea note that develops with time, a sweet-and-sour character somewhere between citrus and melon) but admitted that without knowing it was kumquat, he wouldn't have guessed, and wasn't quite sure how he'd use it. Either way, it's built as a substitute for triple sec or Cointreau: try it in a Margarita, Sidecar, Cosmopolitan, or Garibaldi. Bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
