Holzer & Holzer Original (Fernet, Bitter)

Holzer Original (Fernet, Bitter) is the flagship artisanal herbal liqueur crafted by third-generation Austrian distiller Raphael Holzer. Made using a traditional cold-maceration process with wild alpine botanicals—including arnica, lavender, orris root, and chamomile—harvested in Austria, it delivers a lighter, highly aromatic, and fresh alternative to heavy traditional fernets.

Food Pairing: Rich charcuterie, roasted duck, blue cheese, dark chocolate, or shortbread cookies.

Tasting Notes : Light golden amber with a clean, smooth, and refreshing medium-bodied mouthfeel.

Nose : Highly aromatic with fresh alpine lavender, subtle chamomile flowers, earthy orris root, and bright citrus peel.

Palate : Balanced, crisp, and herbal with notes of dried arnica, wildflower honey sweetness, light spice, and soft floral undertones.

Finish : Long, clean, and refreshing with an evolving, crisp botanical bitterness and gentle herbal warmth.

Serve : Serve chilled neat, over a large ice cube, mixed with soda water, or as an elevated modifier in classic cocktail recipes.
