Angostura Bitters - Aromatic

Angostura aromatic bitters brings a layer of intricacy to beverages, intensifying the flavors of other ingredients, countering the sharpness of acidic elements, and reducing the harshness of spirits. According to the maker, its benefits extend beyond taste enhancement, as it may aid palate cleansing and digestion. If you've ever savored an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Pink Gin, or Mai Tai, then you've undoubtedly experienced the essence of Angostura aromatic bitters. This iconic bottle with its oversized label and distinctive yellow cap is a staple behind every bar.

Angostura defines the category of aromatic bitters. Crafted with the same original secret recipe since 1824, these world-renowned bitters remain an indispensable and definitive ingredient for both classic and contemporary cocktails. However, their versatility extends far beyond the bar counter, as they also serve as a unique flavor enhancer, capable of harmonizing flavors in the preparation of various culinary creations. Notably, they can mitigate the acidity of citrus components, which, according to the maker, makes them suitable for those with sensitivity to acidic elements (and would explain their reputation for settling the stomach). Furthermore, Angostura aromatic bitters are gluten-free, vegan-friendly, and certified Kosher.

Tasting Profile: The bitters encompass a spiced and herbal character, with notable notes of cinchona bark, orris root, molasses, and sweet nutmeg. The flavor profile also reveals hints of stone fruit, striking a balance between richness and earthiness, accompanied by a moderate level of bitterness.
