Into The Bottle


What happens when the fiery warmth of Chinese Five Spice collides with the bitter complexity of amaro? You get Underhand Amaro, a spirit that warms the palate and ignites the senses. Sweetened with crushed Okinawan Murakami Syuten sugar�renowned for its deep, molasses-like intensity�this release is an ode to the vibrant interplay of heat, spice, and celebration.


The heart of Underhand Amaro beats with the unmistakable notes of Chinese Five Spice�star anise, fennel seed, cloves, cinnamon, and peppercorns. Historically, this mix was designed to balance the five fundamental flavors in Chinese cuisine: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami. Over centuries, it became a culinary staple, perfect for everything from lacquered roast duck to spiced winter cakes.


Here, the spices take on new life. They�re layered with gentian and rhubarb root�s earthy bitterness, the electrifying buzz of green and red Sichuan peppercorns, and the rare, citrusy Macqaw peppercorns from Thailand. Orange and citron peel brighten the experience, while Mekong cinnamon�rich with vanilla undertones�rounds it out.


Each sip evokes holiday rituals: cloves in mulled wine, anise in spiced cookies, evergreen garlands by the fire. Underhand Amaro is versatile enough to shine year-round�in winter toddies, spring spritzes, summer highballs, and autumn pairings with baked apples and spice.
