550637 Thu Aug 21 01:49:51 -0700 2008 23 12 Boston Area 0 3974320 any one know where to find it in boston? Thu Aug 21 01:49:54 -0700 2008 28475 bowmore36 1 3974518 I've had my eye out for it for a while locally without finding it. Even the places with a good selection of bitters -- Martignetti's in the North End and in Brighton, Blanchard's in Allston -- don't carry it. It may be one of those rarities that just isn't distributed in Massachusetts; I can't get Antica Formula vermouth anywhere, either. Might be worth a call to Brix Wine Shop (South End and Financial District); they'll special-order anything for a premium. Thu Aug 21 05:54:47 -0700 2008 3974320 10143 MC Slim JB 2 3975524 it just became available in the us again about a year ago or longer just haven't seen it boston.... but as striper guy even asks, thats been the response all over.

Thu Aug 21 11:34:26 -0700 2008 3975604 28475 bowmore36 1 3974595 Course it would help if you told us what Zwack Unicum is... Never fear wiki to the rescue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicum Thu Aug 21 06:27:17 -0700 2008 3974320 10169 StriperGuy 2 3974614 It's in the Fernet Branca school of "so bitter you can't think while you're tasting it". Not for the faint of heart. Thu Aug 21 06:31:31 -0700 2008 3974595 10143 MC Slim JB 1 3975614 Boy, the Wiki definition makes me think it would be available in the liquor sections of Bazaar, or maybe Baza, that new place in Newton.... Thu Aug 21 11:23:08 -0700 2008 3974320 11108 galleygirl 2 3975929 interesting... i will look into that. Thu Aug 21 13:02:58 -0700 2008 3975614 28475 bowmore36 1 3990917 Just bought a bottle at Cirace's on Richmond St in the NE. There's a few left..:) Wed Aug 27 08:45:58 -0700 2008 3974320 10111 9lives 1 3991022 spotted this at Marty's Newton on Monday. Wed Aug 27 09:11:11 -0700 2008 3974320 13193 ponyboy 2 3992321 thank you! Wed Aug 27 15:46:48 -0700 2008 3991022 28475 bowmore36 1 4224871 I am wandering how did you make out with the unicum. I am looking for this for a while and could not find any in Eastern Massachussetts. I talk to a hungarian specialty store (Otto) in California and he said sent back to hungary a container unicum because could not sold it. He said it is too bitter for most Americans. Online I found a Company advertizing it "Internet Wines and liquors" for $29 however, the bottle had the red cross and said zwack on it, but it is a sweet liquor (not even a little bitter) which is undrinkable for me. So only the bottle is similar to the hungarian unicum but not the drink. Please reply! P.

Sun Dec 07 16:44:23 -0800 2008 4224956 10111 9lives 4 4604816 In general they have some interesting, little-seen amari at Bina, like Nardini "Tagliatella", one of those grappa-maker sideline products that's quite unusual and delicious. A bit fruity (cherries, maybe?), but still with some herbal complexity, like a lighter version of some of the sweeter amari like Averna and Abano. http://mcslimjb.blogspot.com/ Fri Apr 17 11:38:57 -0700 2009 4227858 10143 MC Slim JB 5 4726325 Nardini Amaro reminds me of chocolate mint... Fri May 29 15:37:46 -0700 2009 4604816 13161 barleywino 1 4226327 Marty's in Allston has usually had it... Sat Dec 06 19:56:11 -0800 2008 3974320 12056 martybmccabe 1 4604700 Do you have friends in Canada? In Ontario, you can still get Original Unicum in 500ml bottles for about $22 CDN from the provincial liquor store, the LCBO. http://www.vintages.com/frame_results.html?ITEM_NAME=Unicum+Bitters This is NOT the cherry-sweetened product (called 'Unicum Next' in Europe) that is selling around here in a similarly-shaped bottle marked 'Zwack Liqueur'. Fri Apr 17 11:03:23 -0700 2009 3974320 283491 Canuckgiver 2 4606155 Marty's in Newton usually carries it and I have had good good luck at the New Hampshire liquor store on 95 southbound just over the border. Now if only some of our finer drinking establishments would start carrying it and creating great drinks like those at Death and Co in NYC and Zig Zag in Seattle. Fri Apr 17 20:45:38 -0700 2009 4604700 259496 iloveporkbelly 3 4606215 I hope you're just talking about Unicum cocktails. I haven't been to Zig Zag, but I'd say the mixology at Drink is at least the equal of what they're doing at Death and Co., Unicum or no. http://mcslimjb.blogspot.com/ Fri Apr 17 21:31:36 -0700 2009 4606155 10143 MC Slim JB 4 4606221 I agree whole heartedly. Just wish they had unicum. Misty is the one that set me up when I went to Death and Co. Fri Apr 17 21:38:28 -0700 2009 4606215 259496 iloveporkbelly 3 4726337 If you like Zig Zag in Seattle, you should try Spur (in Seattle) next time you're out there...even the bartenders at Drink would find Spur's stuff very interesting (better yet, get down to Teardrop in Portland OR) Fri May 29 15:41:37 -0700 2009 4606155 13161 barleywino 1 4725697 This facebook link shows places that carry it on a google map. http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=64632711733&h=bIeJ8&u=qGEA_&ref=mf Fri May 29 12:16:14 -0700 2009 3974320 324045 chrissy654
