Aromatic bitters are the most classic of all bitters going back to the late 18th-century. They are by far the most widely used bitters since the early days of bartending and play a significant role in the history of cocktails. The Old Fashioned or the Manhattan Cocktail wouldn`t have been the same without a few dashes of aromatic bitters. The Bitter Truth Aromatic Bitters are unsurpassed in the complexity of flavor with spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, and anise permeate prominently. The aroma is full of clove and heady with gingerbread combined with the more subtle tutti- frutti notes.
