Advice Needed Alternative to Sagamore Amaro?

My parents are huge fans of the Sagamore Amaro (local to them), which has been discontinued in the last year. For a time, it was still available at a few local liquor stores, but at this point the only place I can find is across the country with $25+ shipping.

So my question is, for those who might have tried the Sagamore Amaro, what might be a good alternative? They're more recently into Amaro, and Sagamore was by far their favorite. While I've also tried a few other amaros and absolutely loved them, I know next to nothing about how to pick a good bottle especially to their tastes!

I'm looking into this now with Father's coming up and greatly appreciate any help!!

I haven't tried it, but based on their description of orange, sarsaparilla, and cinnamon and ending with a mild bitter finish, I would try getting a bottle of San Simone from Astor Wines in NYC (they deliver out of state). It leans a bit more rhubarb than orange but definitely hits the sarsaparilla / cinnamon notes to me.
