Bitter(s) Review: Angostura Aromatic Bitters

Posted by Arctic Wolf on January 25, 2019

Over the course of this year I plan to review 25 different brands of bitters and these reviews will be compiled on my Cocktail Bitters Review page found here. This page displays most of the brands I will review with links to each review. (Of course the links for a particular review will not open until that review is published.)

I will of course expand this list as I receive more brands to review. My policy for receiving samples of Bitters will be much the same as it is for spirits, albeit I will be able to accept much smaller sample sizes than 200 ml. A 50 ml sample bottle is more than ample.

I am going to kick off a this series of Bitters Reviews with Angostura Aromatic Bitters.

Angostura’s Aromatic Bitters were first produced in 1824, in the town of Angostura (now Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela) by Dr. Johann Siegert who created his bitters as a medicinal treatment to alleviate digestive and stomach ailments. In the 1870’s the brand was moved to Trinidad, where Johann Siegert’s son Don Carlos established the aromatic bitters as a complementary ingredient for both cocktails and food.

Here is my link to my first Bitter(s) Review, I hope you enjoy it:

Review: Angostura Aromatic Bitters

“… If you put a drop of Angostura Aromatic Bitters on your tongue instead of in your cocktail you will find that they have a very complex bold and yes, quite bitter, flavour. You can taste cloves and hints of cinnamon, bits of cocoa and what I can only describe as tree bark (kinda like cedar) …”

Enjoy the review and the cocktail suggestion included.

Chimo!
