Matchbook Distilling 'Field Trip After Dark' Squash Amaro

Made with Sucrine du Berry winter squash grown by Treiber Farms on the North Fork, this distinctive amaro begins with a squash-based spirit enriched with vanilla, cacao, and chamomile. A complex blend of orris, angelica, cinnamon, rose, ancho chile, tamarind, sumac, strawberry, fresh figs, etrog, shiso, and gentian adds layers of spice, fruit, florals, and herbal bitterness. Aged for two years in Amarone casks, it develops remarkable depth and warmth, with a rich, bittersweet finish. It would make an intriguing winter nightcap, equally compelling in a thoughtfully crafted cocktail.
