Barfly: O’Maro Irish Amaro


Posted April 25, 2025 in Food & Drink Features

“We will own Modern Irish Spirits.” That’s the mission of Stillgarden, a small Inchicore based distillery with big ambitions to make global spirits using botanicals sourced locally.

They’re continuing to make good on that objective with O’Maro, their version of the classic bitter Italian digestif Amaro, which they’ve macerated using traditional methods featuring a unique blend of botanicals, including rosehip, strawberry leaf, lemon verbena and raspberries.

The pioneering liqueur is to date the world’s only Irish Amaro, and while the Inchicore innovators say it’s great as a base for Negronis or added to Ginger Tea, we reckon it works just fine on its own.

Bellissima!
