A kitchen spice type of aromatic bitters
Creole equals flavor, and these bitters are as unique as the culture it encapsulates. These bitters smell like a kitchen in the French Quarter.
The Bitter Truth Creole Bitters recalls a bitter style that dates back to an era before cocktails even existed. Back then, bitters were made by doctors and apothecaries, primarily for use in liquid tonics and then eventually as an ingredient in alcoholic beverages.
The Bitter Truth Creole Bitters reflect the Creole way of life in all its beautiful complexity and spiciness. On first taste, cayenne and pink peppercorns emerge, supported by anise, big red cinnamon, dark cumin and fennel seed. Fruity aromas of dried apricots, cherries and cranberries mingle with the strong flavors of anise, smoked paprika and hints of smoldering pine.
The vintage metallic label hides burning anise, cherry red liquid. Try it on your favorite Manhattan, Old Fashioned, French 75, or for that matter, any drink that could do with getting fresh. Put on a brass band march and get your feet moving!
About The Bitter Truth
Since 2006, Germany’s The Bitter Truth has done its part to contribute to the spread of bitters and cocktails. It all started during a visit to the London Bar Show in June 2006. At that show, bartenders Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck from Munich created the idea to produce and distribute cocktail bitters, as they were hard to find in Germany and many other places.
Both already had considerable experience producing hand-crafted cocktail bitters for the bars they worked at. Stephan also owned a large collection of historic bitters, some of which had not been produced for decades. Thus he knew what the most famous bitters in the world tasted like.
