Mystery bottle

Received one of these in the post today. It's some kind of Italian booze, but does anyone know what it is?

I can only presume I've won a competiton, but it's all in Italian

It's OK. I've found it on wiki. Apparantly it's a Italian herbal liquer and I'm to drink it neat. ;D

I'll try anything once and it can't be as bad as some of my homebrew efforts ;D

Tell us what it tastes like PDB - sometimes the oddest ingredients taste nice when turned into alcohol

Ooooh perhaps you've got a secret Italian valentine who's a bit tardy!!! ;D

Well I tried it. At first I thought it was in a dark bottle but it's not. It's in a clear bottle, but the amaro is the colour of Cavonia, and tastes like it too, with an odd smell of bubble gum.

It's flippin' 'orrible ;D Definately for medicinal use only ;D

I'll give that one a miss then if I'm ever offered it ;D
