Song Cai Distillery May Vietnamese Amaro Bitters 750 ml

Song Cai May is a Vietnamese amaro from a Hanoi distillery that built its reputation on foraged indigenous botanicals, working with growers in the northern highlands rather than importing a European recipe wholesale. That sourcing is the point here: the bitter roots, barks and citrus peels come from Vietnam, so the profile lands somewhere between an Italian digestivo and a bowl of Southeast Asian spice. Dried citrus peel and bitter root on the nose, then cola nut, cinnamon bark and clean gentian bitterness over dark caramel, drying out through a long finish. Serve it neat after a meal, over ice with soda, or swapped into a Boulevardier.
