The Forest is an amaro-like spirit, using a neutral sugar beet base spirit that incorporates botanicals such as gentian root, vanilla, lemon balm, orange peel, and star anise that ages in earthen pots for a minimum of 3 months. Bright and softly sweet, like caramel cubes with twists of citrus, clove, toffee, and nougat that makes the perfect digestif to make a great night that much better.
