LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

The most approachable of the great Amari. Its floral sweetness makes it a perfect entry point for those new to bitter liqueurs.

The Library Note

Created in 1885 by Stanislao Cobianchi in Bologna, this liqueur was named after Princess Elena of Montenegro on the occasion of her marriage to King Victor Emmanuel III. The recipe remains a secret, passed down through generations, and is still produced in the iconic 'apothecary' bottle.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Rich and floral with dominant notes of orange zest and rose petals.

THE PALATE

A perfect balance of sweet and bitter. Layers of orange, honey, and herbal spice.

THE FINISH

Clean, bittersweet, and incredibly smooth.
