Description
The Bitter Truth Bogart's Bitters 42.1% vol. 0.35 l is a historically significant bottling in the cocktail bitters segment and is considered an authentic replica of a 19th century-style bitter. This speciality is produced by The Bitter Truth, one of the world's most recognized producers of high-quality bar bitters. Bogart's Bitters plays a central role in the history of cocktail culture, as it was the first bitters to be mentioned by name in the very first cocktail book, written in 1862 by Jerry Thomas, a key figure in the first golden age of cocktails.
Historically, it is believed that Bogart's Bitters was a contemporary spelling variant of Boker's Bitters, a recipe that was used in cocktail recipes around the world long before other bitters. As early as 1888, the first Martini cocktail recipe explicitly called for the use of "genuine Bogart's/Boker's", which underlines the enormous importance and popularity of this bitters. For this edition, The Bitter Truth has carried out many years of intensive research and uses an extremely rare original bottle from around 1900. The recipe, aroma profile and style have been carefully reconstructed, age-related changes have been eliminated and transferred into a modern, authentic form. This Aromatic Bitter is bottled in an iconic brown "Lady Leg" bottle, whose historical design has been faithfully recreated. (automated translation)
