Obscure Spirits - Cynar

Cynar - an Italian Spirit

Cynar is an Italian aperitif created all the way back in 1949.

I may be wrong but I think this is the only spirit to be flavoured with artichoke leaves plus a mix of herbs. It is marketed under a 'medicinal' label, thanks to those 13 herbs and plants. The manufacturer's website (Campari bought the brand in 1995) says it is the perfect bitter for an after-dinner digestive to be enjoyed with tonic and ice or a splash of soda water.

So, an artichoke and herb-flavoured alcholic (16.5%) aperitif/digestive. In the UK it retails for around £12. Any takers?
