Category: Aromatic Bitters

Date Tasted:
Country: Canada
Alcohol: 0%
Tasted as a Old Fashioned cocktail. Amber color. Aromas and flavors of fennel, clove, orange zest, and lemon oil, Old Bay, and star anise with a crisp, bone-dry light-to-medium body and an interesting, medium-length finish evoking notes of fennel, clove and cedar, orange oil, and mixed garden herbs. A beautifully savory aroma that will work well as an apéritif or use as a modifier to give cocktails a bit of a Mediterranean flare.

Aromatic Bitters

Aromatic bitters contain spices such as cinnamon, anise and allspice among their ingredients, which gives these bitters more perfumed fruitier and floral notes. Flavor characteristics range from mincemeat to fennel to carrot and banana; the aromatic bitters definitely round out and add some zestiness as well as some tang to cocktails.
