Gentian is a wonderful alpine plant, the root of which makes one of the most intriguing liqueurs I have ever tasted. As with most distilled spirits there are high-grade and low-grade gentian liqueurs. "Grassl" from the southern German alps is one of the best -- if not actually the best available -- and I've tried four different brands over the years. Currently I don't know of any produced or for sale in the US, but it can be mail ordered. Sipped neat it is uniquely awesome.
