This limited release amaro from Song Cai was made in collaboration with Red Dao Medicine woman, Lý Mở Mẩy. Inspired by a traditional Red Dao tincture, this amaro features 15 botanicals - including fig, poppy, horehound, angelica root, and dandelion root - which are macerated in neutral rice spirits and distilled molasses. The infused spirit is finally sweetend with honey from Black Dwarf honeybees. The nose is rich and herbaceous, featuring notes of mint and black peppercorn. On the palate, mint gives way to soft bitterness, smoke, and black tea. The finish is long and complex, with waves of herbal flavors like dandelion root, rose, and orange peel.
