CHAPARRAL
California chaparral covers the foothills and mountain slopes along the coast. Characterized by manzanita, sage brush, and scrub oak, the grey-green rugged hills explode with wildflowers in the spring.  

Brucato Chaparral’s dominant ingredients are yerba santa (a California native herb with a distinct bittersweet flavor, highly revered by apothecaries for its medicinal properties), spearmint, and cardamom.  

Brucato Chaparral Amaro is celebrated for its embodiment of California's unique terroir, crafted by the innovative minds of Sierra and James Clark. This amaro has garnered attention and accolades for its unique blend of California herbs, including yerba santa, spearmint, and cardamom, which bring forth an aromatic and herbaceous profile reminiscent of the coastal mountains and foothills of the region. Its warm, bright herbal flavor finishes with lingering notes of mint and anise, offering a complex and engaging tasting experience.

Brucato Chaparral has been recognized for its quality and innovation, winning Double Gold in both the 2021 and 2022 San Francisco Spirits Competition and being named the 2023 Bartender Spirits Awards’ Liqueur of the Year. It is suggested as a Chartreuse alternative, contributing to its versatility in cocktails, with bartenders from esteemed establishments such as Death & Co and Trick Dog utilizing it to create innovative summer cocktails. Despite its differences from green Chartreuse, Brucato Chaparral offers a unique and flavorful twist to cocktails, making it a must-try for enthusiasts eager to explore the depth of herbal liqueurs inspired by California's rich botanical landscape.
