This is how the distillery describes this unique bitter drink - "Fernet Hunter Granit is the second generation of the original Fernet Hunter and the second collaboration between father and son (Holzer/Holzer). A true bitter, what separates Fernet Hunter Granit from Fernet Hunter is its dryness, increased bitter notes, and decreased sugar content. In addition to Arnica, Orrisroot, and Lavender, Fernet Hunter Granit is also made with Chamomile, which provides a strong aromatic character and complexity to this unique bitter... The name "Granit" refers to the solid granite rocks that can be found throughout Austria's Mühlviertel region - a part of the Bohemian massif that stretches from the Czech Republic to the Northern parts of Austria. For our second spirit in the Fernet Hunter family, we wanted to create a bitter that truly captured the essence and dryness of granite. To mimic these characteristics, our recipe foundation was altered by increasing the ratio of roots and slightly decreasing the aromas of lavender and arnica."
