{"product_id":"bitter-truth-jerry-thomas-200ml","title":"Bitter Truth Jerry Thomas 200ML","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bitter Truth Jerry Thomas’ Own Decanter Bitters is based on a recipe by Professor Jerry Thomas (1830-1885), who is considered the most important bartender of the 19th-century. Although we are not sure if he would know what cider candies smell like since we don’t know if they existed in the 1860s. He might recognize, however, crystallized ginger and the oils of fresh tangerine and almonds seeping through. We`re sure he’d have known that it tastes of dried fruit with a finish of orange peel and a light sprinkling of Angostura bark. Of course, the original recipe was not slavishly reproduced, but its formula was improved to comply with today`s legal requirements and discerning taste demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery fruity and very bitter. Citrus and dried fruit aromas unite with the spicy and bitter flavors of cloves, Angostura bark, and cinnamon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the golden age of the American cocktail, bitters were an essential ingredient and there were a vast array of flavors to choose from. Bitters complement and embellish the flavor of a well-made cocktail and they were carefully crafted with this in mind. Since 2006, The Bitter Truth forged the way for the re-emergence of the category of bitters in our modern age. With careful research, quality produce and tight production, The Bitter Truth have revived the practice of creating quality cocktail bitters. The Bitter Truth was established by passionate bartenders Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck in idyllic Bavaria with the intention of supplying bar aficionados with cocktail bitters that have not been seen in a century. Both men gained experience making small-batch cocktail bitters for the bars they represented. For years Stephan has been collecting ancient cocktail books and authentic bitters from the late 19th and early 20th century, and these were the inspiration for their first choice of cocktail bitter flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally, cocktail bitters were the ingredient that distinguished cocktails from other categories of beverages such as Toddies, Slings, Fizzes, Sours, or Punches. For decades, they were an essential component of good cocktail creations. The start of prohibition curtailed consumers’ drinking habits, and cocktail bitters almost sank into oblivion. Only a few brands survived that period, but even after that, not all of them managed to reestablish themselves in the new market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProof\/ABV: \u003c\/b\u003e60\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bitter Truth","offers":[{"title":"200ml Bottle","offer_id":46643465650325,"sku":"9113722","price":30.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/boozecity.com\/products\/bitter-truth-jerry-thomas-200ml","provider":"Booze City ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
