The Bitter Truth - Old Time Aromatic Bitters - Cocktail Bitters - 39% - 20cl

These Old Time Aromatic Bitters are bitter from the beginning to the end, as well as spicy and complex.

The complexity within this bitter is a result of the interplay between cinnamon, cardamom, licorice, clove and ginger taking place in the background, and complimented by a typical gingerbread aroma.

This bitter is best suited to compliment cask-aged spirits like whiskey, rum, brandy, and tequila.

The team Berg & Hauck have proposed a few interesting cocktails themselves that use their Old Time Aromatic Bitters, for example the Horse's Neck or the Hot Toddy (see The Bitter Truth's homepage).
