A French amer of bitter orange and cinchona bark, named for the quinine in it.
Virieu-le-Grand, France, 1875
The Bigallet family has made it since the late 19th century, when quinine tonics were both a medicine and a habit. It stayed a regional French bottle until American bartenders adopted it as an Averna alternative with more edge.
Bitter and sweet orange peels are distilled, then blended with an infusion of cinchona bark, gentian, and other roots before sweetening and a rest.
Candied orange and cocoa over a firm, quinine-driven bitterness. Drier and more citrus-led than most Italian amari.
Did you know
The name has nothing to do with the country. It comes from quina, the Spanish word for cinchona bark, and is said closer to keena.
Also known as: china-china, china china, bigallet china china, bigallet china-china liqueur
