Bitter Italian amaro brand Fernet-Branca just released the third installment in its annual U.S. Limited Edition series, enlisting Los Angeles-based artist Austin England to reimagine the bottle into a collectible piece of art inspired by the brand’s ties to tattoo culture.
“Fernet-Branca’s relationship with tattoo culture wasn’t manufactured—it grew over years, glass by glass, in the same rooms where artists like Austin work and in the neighborhood bars where they come together after sessions,” said Edoardo Branca, sixth-generation member of the family behind the brand, in a news release. “This collaboration is our way of honoring that history, with someone whose precision and respect for craft mirrors our own.”
England is a multidisciplinary artist who bridges traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design, according to the brand, building a career that spans multiple mediums while remaining rooted in the bold visual language of tattooing. For the 2026 Limited Edition bottle, England reimagined Fernet-Branca’s iconic eagle through his distinctive interpretation of classic flash imagery.
“Fernet-Branca has always had an unmistakable visual identity, and its imagery has been part of tattoo culture for years, so this collaboration felt incredibly natural,” said England in the release. “I was inspired by the brand’s iconic symbols and the authentic community that’s grown around the spirit. Creativity lives where art, culture, and community come together, and that’s what I wanted this bottle to reflect.”
The 2026 Fernet-Branca Limited Edition bottle (SRP: $34.99) is available now at select retailers nationwide.
