Jeppson\’s Malrt Liqueur: The Chicago Handshake\’s Bitter Heart

Jeppson\’s Malrt is more than a liqueur; it\’s a rite of passage and a testament to the resilient spirit of Chicago. With a robust 35% ABV, this 750ml bottle holds a unique, intensely bitter botanical experience that famously divides and unites drinkers.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Pale, translucent golden straw.
• Nose: Intense, sharp, and highly aromatic. Dominant notes of wormwood (artemisia) and bitter herbs, reminiscent of a strongly medicinal tea or bitter root.
• Palate: Starts momentarily neutral, then immediately explodes with an unrelenting, deep, and savory bitterness. The \”full bodied flavor of an unusual botanical\” is a potent, earthy, and uncompromising assault on the palate.
• Finish: Long, bracing, and almost chewy bitterness that lingers and grips the back of the throat. Its a clean, almost antiseptic finish that compels the drinker to either immediately reach for a chaser or take another sip.

\”Its bitter taste is savored by two-fisted drinkers.\” It\’s not for the faint of heart, but its unique profile makes it an essential component of the \”Chicago Handshake\” (a shot of Malrt followed by a can of beer).
