Woodlands Reserve builds upon the original’s rich foundation of cacao, dark fruit, and spice, evolving into a deeper, more refined expression through time and experimentation. By blending a full batch aged in a freshly emptied Evan Williams bourbon barrel with a smaller portion from intensely oaked micro-barrels, we achieved a perfect balance of smooth depth and bold character. The result is a velvety, bourbon-laced amaro layered with notes of vanilla, caramel, and warm spice — a familiar favorite elevated to something truly special.

Reserve Series
The Brucato Reserve Series represents a rare exploration of patience, place, and craft — a deeper expression of California’s terroir through the lens of aged amaro. Each release begins with one of our core spirits, carefully rested in select whiskey barrels. Over months and years, the botanicals evolve, developing new dimensions of depth, warmth, and character that only time can reveal. These limited bottlings honor the art of transformation — where familiar flavors mature into something entirely new, and each barrel tells its own quiet, distinct story.

Black Mission Figs
Black Mission figs are among the most common figs in California, and for good reason! They burst with flavor, revealing a juicy center within a dark blue thin skin. When dried, their flavors darken and intensify - the celebrated flavor in cookies and other treats.
Elderberry
Elderberries are celebrated for their potent antioxidants and deep sweetness for jams, but we think their flavor is best when they are dried. Notes of dark chocolate and a sublime, earthy sweetness emerge, the backbone of our Woodlands amaro.
Aged in Bourbon Barrels
Rested in a freshly emptied 53-gallon Evan Williams bourbon barrel, it transforms Woodlands’ cacao, dark fruit, and spice into a smooth, velvety spirit layered with vanilla, caramel, and coconut.
