Limited-release Vietnamese amaro produced by Sông Cái Distillery in Hanoi, Vietnam Made in collaboration with Red Dao medicine woman Lý M? M?y, with whom Sông Cái splits the profits from this expression
Inspired by a traditional Red Dao medicinal tincture Produced from primarily foraged native and heirloom Vietnamese botanicals 15 botanicals in total—featuring fig, poppy, horehound, angelica root, and dandelion root—are macerated in neutral spirit distilled from rice and molasses
Sông Cái’s exploration of native Vietnamese botanicals continues with this amaro-style liqueur named for and produced in collaboration with Lý M? M?y, a Red Dao medicine woman from T? Phìn, Vietnam.
Derived from a recipe developed by the Red Dao—known for their expertise in medicinal botany—M?y Amaro is based on a traditional herbal medicinal tincture called Ðia Tíu, which is historically used to treat muscle aches and digestive issues.
As all the botanicals in Sông Cái Ma^?y are sourced from forested land, Sông Cái Distillery is working with Lý M? M?y and her community to propagate native tree and understory species to help maintain and restore local forests and biodiversity.
