A Southern expression of an Italian classic- our signature amaro is handcrafted from regionally grown and foraged ingredients such as Charleston black tea yaupon holly Dancy tangerine and mint. Sip by itself as a digestif or use in a riff on a classic cocktail! – – Historically amari were made as a way to make full use of the harvest by macerating leftover herbs botanicals and fruits in distilled spirits. This of course means everything was grown locally resulting in a myriad of different styles depending on where you were and what crops were planted. And while there are other American amari on the market today it’s hard to think of one that truly capitalizes on its bountiful regional raw ingredients. Most are based on traditional Italian – or even Scandinavian – recipes which are delicious but rely on herbs and botanicals that may or may not be native to where they are made. Enter High Wire’s Southern Amaro. Using a base of neutral corn spirit they macerate Yaupon Holly (America’s only native caffeinated plant) and gentian root along with wild mint local Dancy tangerine and Charleston Black Tea (the only colorant used) among other botanicals. It is then sweetened with neutral cane syrup which they make themselves from local sugarcane. It is wild and intriguing on the nose with brown sugar sweet spice and zesty citrus balanced by deeper aromas of black tea leaves pine resin smoke and hints of brine and celery. The palate is quite lifted and herb-forward with a balanced sweetness and it is here that the tangerine and mint really shine along with a touch of black cherry.
