Angostura Aromatic Bitters is the undisputed king of bar modifiers and the ultimate secret weapon behind almost every classic cocktail known to mixology. Created in 1824 by Dr. Johann Siegert in Venezuela (and later produced in Trinidad and Tobago), this iconic bottle—instantly recognizable by its oversized yellow label—is crafted from a closely guarded, secret blend of tropical herbs, aromatic spices, and roots.

Bottled at a potent 44.7% ABV, Angostura Bitters is designed to be used in dashes rather than large pours, acting as the ultimate flavor-enhancer that ties complex drinks together. It greets the senses with an intense, complex nose bursting with warm cinnamon, pimento, clove, gentian root, and deep herbal notes. On the palate, it is intensely bitter yet wonderfully aromatic, unlocking hidden flavors in spirits and sweet ingredients alike. Whether you are crafting an authentic Old Fashioned, a Manhattan, or a refreshing rum cocktail, it is an absolute mandatory addition to any serious Nairobi home or commercial bar.

Tasting Profile & Characteristics:

Appearance: A deep, rich amber-brown hue (appears reddish-brown when dashed into drinks).

Palate: Highly concentrated, intensely bitter, and spicy, delivering deep herbal complexity.

Finish: Long, dry, and warming, leaving a lingering, sophisticated aromatic trail.

Best Ways to Serve & Mix:
