Fernet Hunter Austria Bitters

Fernet Hunter is a brand of bitters that burst onto the scene with its really sleek and modern, almost edgy packaging - none of that old school cursive text, big logos or in your face motifs that almost seem to emanate from the label.

 

The brand itself is relatively young, having only started in 2016, led by Raphael Holzer, former manager of Yardbird (and also Ronin and Sunday Grocery's) in Hong Kong, and whose family counts four generations of bitters making in Austria.

 

Fernet Hunter at its core is made primarily with a combination of botanicals including Arnica, Orrisroot and Lavender - this forms the base of Fernet Hunter, with each subsequent editions a variant of this fundamental recipe. The bitter is picked from Austria's Brunnwald Forests during the hunting season (hence the name "Fernet Hunter" and the striking imagery on the standard expression as you'll see shortly), and then dried, before subsequently using a low-temp infusion method to extract the flavours for the fernet.
