The Story
The Obsidian takes its name from the colour of its liquid — a deep, brooding pour that marries the slow warmth of aged rum with the bitter elegance of Amaro Montenegro. Behind the striking appearance is a carefully balanced cocktail built on patience. The smoked orange is the last thing you expect and the first thing you remember.

Tasting Notes
How it unfolds
01
First: the smoke. A slow opening, like a struck match.
02
Then warmth — dark caramel, dried fruit, rum depth.
03
The amaro's bitterness arrives last — herbal, clean.
04
Long, mineral finish with a whisper of orange.
