High Wire Distilling Company Southern Amaro Liqueur

Meet High Wire's Southern Amaro Liqueur, a heartfelt Southern twist on the Italian classic. It's herbal yet balanced—handcrafted in Charleston with locally foraged ingredients like Charleston black tea, yaupon holly, Dancy tangerine, and mint.

The distillery itself merges culinary curiosity with distilling finesse, crafting this in copper stills inside a vintage‑styled warehouse in downtown Charleston.

At 60 proof, it's fresh, citrusy, gently bitter—with a soft vanilla finish. Ideal served as a thoughtful digestif, a curious cocktail substitute, or a moment‑worthy sip

Nose: Opens with bright citrus notes underpinned by earthy black tea and a whisper of mint.

Palate: A balanced herbal mix—tangerine sweetness layered with gentle bitterness and a hint of molasses‑like warmth

Finish: Smooth, lingering, with a touch of anise-like snap and herbal clarity.

As-is: Lovely neat or on ice—subtle, refreshing, and not overly sweet.

Cocktail flair: Swap it into a Black Manhattan or Espresso Martini for a Southern echo.

With food: Pair with citrus-glazed duck, tangerine sorbet, or mint-bright herb pastries—each enhancing one of the liqueur’s botanical layers.
