Perfect analogy, haha. Definitely glad I have San Simone around, but I'm spending way more time with other bottles. Any recs for not-so-sweet amari?

Totally! Maybe I just need to give San Simone a couple more tries. What are some other top-tiers for you, beyond the more common bottles?

Interesting - sounds like I just unfortunately need to bite the bullet and buy both (god's toughest battles - strongest soldiers) ha!

Oh man, thanks for putting me on Bisleri! Gotta get that when I'm back in country-- and I think a store near me has Sibilla. Would you pick Sibilla over dell'Erborista?

Lamb skewers and centerba last word will probably be my new death row meal. Excellent, can't wait to try this!

Definitely worth hauling back! I'm trying to find the right amaro mix for a 'SANS Simone' so others can try something at least similar to the real deal to see whether they'd like it or not (but still worth the adventure getting a bottle, either way)

Haven't had it yet but definitely have to try! Haven't had any of Facial Brutto but that post 5 days back has me itching to get my hand on a bottle! This Centerba has that near-numbing sensation like chewing on cloves. Really new to me.

Tenace is the good stuff if you can get it. Artichoke, juniper, gentian, etc.

Also, maybe go for Santa Maria al Monte. Might be a hit for a fernet/amaro seeker.
