Bitters with depth

Aromatic bitters made the way they used to be.

Boy Drinks World makes these bitters by hand in San Diego using whole walnuts, black cardamom, licorice root, and black walnut leaf, then ages them in American oak barrels. The result is rich, oaky, leathery, and smoky with a strong walnut backbone. They were designed to pair with bourbon but the depth and complexity work across a wide range of spirits. A few dashes in a cocktail and the difference from standard aromatic bitters is immediately clear.

FAQ

Questions before you buy

How do these compare to Angostura bitters?

These are richer and more robust with a pronounced walnut and oak character. Angostura is spicier and more medicinal. Both are aromatic bitters but the flavor profile is quite different.

How many dashes do I use?

Two to three dashes is a good starting point for most cocktails. These are concentrated so taste as you go.

Do they work with spirits other than bourbon?

Yes. The oak and walnut character pairs well with rye, rum, and aged tequila. Even works as a few dashes in a stirred gin cocktail where you want a darker, more complex backdrop.

How long does a 4 oz bottle last?

At a few dashes per drink, a 4 oz bottle goes a long way. Store in a cool, dark place.
