THE STORY
Released in the latter part of 2017, Winter Spiced Bitters are a festive offering suited to the style of beverage typically consumed in climates where the nights are longer and the weather colder.
Winter Spiced Bitters bring to life the flavours, aromas and botanicals commonly associated with the harsh winter season. Dried fruits, warm citrus, baking spices, fire, and wood smoke were all central to our desired flavour profile and we truly believe we have captured that with a bitters unlike any other, with its unique aromas, tastes and flavours.
