In honor of professor Jerry Thomas, formerly the principal bartender at the Metropolitan Hotel, New York and the Planters House, St. Louis.

The Bitter Truth – Jerry Thomas’ Own Decanter Bitters is based on a recipe by Professor Jerry Thomas (1830-1885), who is considered to be the most important bartender of the 19th century. Of course the original recipe wasn’t copied exactly, but the formula was improved to comply with today’s demands.

Tasting Notes:
Very fruity and very bitter. Citrus and dried fruit aromas unite with the spicy and bitter flavors of cloves, angostura bark and cinnamon.

Packaging:
200 ml, 28% ABV

Each Bitter Truth release shows incredible balance and reveals these gentlemen’s passion for a product of utmost integrity. The bitters are not only nuanced and beautifully balanced, they also show respect for a rich bitters history in our cocktail culture. — LeNell Smothers
