The name of this vermouth from New York refers to the transformative and medicinal powers of amber, and the function and strength of a thorn. It’s complex, warm and unexpected, comes on strong and segues into soft. Its neither sugary nor dry, tart nor sweet, but summery, fresh, rich and aromatic. It's produced with North Fork Chardonnay, New York apple brandy and botanicals like Chinese anise, French lavender and holy basil add a verdant quality, while a squeeze of citrus rounds out the warm fruit of apple brandy. Sip it neat, over ice with a twist of orange or in cocktails.
