See The Elephant Amaro

Producer & Origins
See the Elephant is a small-batch amaro crafted on the Cilento Coast in southern Italy, in the town of Agropoli. It's the creation of Kyle Harder, working with a third-generation family-owned distillery. The amaro is rooted in local tradition but stands out for its unique use of arugula (rucola) as a central botanical, offering a fresh take on the classic Italian herbal liqueur.
