MARSEILLE is based on the ancient recipe of four medieval thieves who were caught stealing from plague victims in Marseille. In exchange for clemency, they revealed their secret concoction. With notes of eucalyptus, cinnamon, rhubarb, and honey, this amaro can be enjoyed neat or on ice.

As legend has it, while the plague ravaged Europe in the 15th Century, a botanist named Richard Forthave created a popular herbal tonic as protection. Looking towards history for inspiration for every one of their botanical spirits, two friends in Brooklyn, New York City: painter Aaron Sing Fox and writer/producer Daniel de la Nuez founded Forthave Spirits. Their natural and delicious botanical spirits are born from a library of botanicals that includes over 200 different types of herbs - roots and barks, leaves and flowers, and fruits and seeds. Using only plant-based ingredients, they macerate in stainless steel tanks, use no artificial filtering agents or artificial colors, and the only sweeteners used are raw: organic turbinado sugar or raw honey from Upstate New York. Almost all the of the ingredients are USDA organically certified- the few that aren’t, have either been grown by small farmers without certification or wild foraged.
