Highside Distilling is a family-owned & operated distillery located on Bainbridge Island, Washington. For this amaro (they have three), they begin with their own gin base which is made from Washington-grown apples and ten botanicals which include juniper, orange, rose, bay leaf, cubeb berry and vanilla. Then the distillate is macerated with five bitter herbs and aromatics including rhubarb root, whole bean coffee, and cocoa nibs. This maceration rests in once used 53-gallon Kentucky bourbon barrels for 6 weeks. The amaro is finished with raw Washington-harvested honey.

Interesting to see a local Washington Amaro. Very mild nose, even though it's on the higher end of ABV in it for an Amaro. Coffee, candied Toffee, lots going on here. Really different and probably a great cocktail product.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
