SUBCATEGORY bitterRING coreTRADITION GentianeSELF-IDENTIFIED “Amer”
A bittersweet, orange-forward French amer made from macerated and distilled sweet and bitter orange peels, warmed with star anise, iris, clove and gentian root. The producer describes a straightforward orange nose and a palate carrying caramelised warmth alongside the orange fruit. Amber in colour, it sits in the same French gentiane-and-orange amer lineage as Suze and Salers, though built on an orange base with gentian as a secondary bittering root rather than gentian as the primary base. Serve neat as a digestif, as a cocktail base, or drizzled over vanilla ice cream.
