Today at Philadelphia Distilling we are thrilled to announce the official release of VIGO AMARO, a hand-crafted botanical spirit belonging to the category of Italian liqueur known as digestivo, designed to keep you lingering at the table after a long meal and integral to that country’s ritualistic hospitality.

At Philadelphia Distilling, we feel a kinship with Amaro—and not just as distillers, but because we are Philadelphians. As the site of centuries of Italian immigration, our region is now home to the second-largest Italian-American population in the United States. These urban pioneers were our original DIY’ers, often turning their backyard garden bounty into liqueurs, proudly served as part of the evening ritual. Our head distiller, Aaron Selya has been fascinated with Amaro since 2012 when he encountered Fernet—a brand of bitter Amaro identified by its intensity. At the time, Italian digestivos were not well known, and just ordering one set you apart as spirit insider—like a bartender’s “secret handshake”. But that underground quality was only part of what captured Aaron’s interest. It was also the appeal of the spirit itself: highly flavored, with a lot of dimension in just one glass.

Available for purchase in our Bottle Shop and our tasting room.

Come join us for a VIGO cocktail and let the conversation flow.

VIGO Amaro is a darkly sweet American expression of the traditional Italian liqueur. Our composition includes California dried plums, nutmeg, rose, elderflower, cinnamon, cinchona bark, and kola nut rounded out by Muscovado sugar. The result is an authentic and approachable introduction to the world of digestivo.
