Roots Diktamo Greek Amaro is a distinctive and characterful herbal liqueur inspired by ancient traditions and crafted with wild botanicals from the island of Crete. At its heart lies Diktamo (Origanum Dictamnus), also known as dittany of Crete—a rare and revered herb historically associated with healing and even described as the “herb of love.”
 
At 30% ABV, this contemporary amaro delivers a beautifully layered and complex profile. The herbal backbone of diktamo is complemented by liquorice, orris root, and traditional Greek botanicals, creating a bittersweet balance that is both bold and elegant.
 
On the palate, expect a velvety, gently bitter texture, with waves of herbal depth, subtle fruit nuances, and a lingering aromatic finish. There’s a unique contrast here—earthy richness meets fresh herbal lift, making it a standout choice for those seeking something different from classic Italian amaros.
 
Deeply rooted in history yet crafted for modern tastes, Roots Diktamo is perfect as a digestif or a sophisticated cocktail ingredient.
