LEITH BITTER ROSSO
THE KING OF NEGRONI. BORN TO BE BITTER.
Bold Italian character. Mediterranean soul. Made to stand out.
Some spirits are made to be mixed. Others are made to be remembered.
Meet Leith Bitter Rosso — an incredibly aromatic, unapologetically bold expression of the great Italian bitter tradition, reimagined with the independent spirit of Old Poison.
Inspired by the timeless culture of the Italian aperitivo, this richly expressive bitter brings together a captivating blend of Mediterranean herbs, roots and citrus.
At its heart, gentian delivers an elegant, earthy bitterness. Ginseng adds intriguing botanical depth, while rhubarbcontributes a distinctive bittersweet character. Beautiful citrus notes lift the whole experience, creating an aromatic balance between brightness, complexity and bold bitterness.
