Tasting Characteristics

On the nose it is fresh, with more elements of flowers than juniper. In the mouth it is balanced, with sweet minerality and notes of grass and spices. In the aftertaste it is slightly sweet.

The process

Its difference lies in the use of herbs and plants that grow only on the shores of the North Sea, such as scurvy grass, ground ivy and bladderwrack.

Served

Enjoy it plain or on the rocks, while it combines wonderfully with the most creative cocktails.

The Bitter Truth Orange Bitters is a premium, highly versatile cocktail flavoring agent made by macerating sweet and bitter orange peels alongside a complex blend of herbs and spices in alcohol. Originally released by the German brand in the early years of the modern cocktail renaissance, these bitters were formulated to replicate the classic, complex style of orange bitters that tracing back to the 1880s. Bottled at 39% Alcohol by Volume (ABV), they are free of artificial dyes and feature a natural, clear-to-light amber hue.

• Aroma: Dominates with a rich, traditional note of orange marmalade, followed closely by warm baking spices including sweet cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg.
• Taste: Begins with a hint of fruity sweetness that quickly transitions into a deeply bitter, authentic orange peel oil flavor.
• Underlying Spices: Distinct, savory notes of cardamom, caraway (reminiscent of Aquavit), and cumin backstop the heavy citrus profile.

• The Dry Martini: Historically, orange bitters were an essential component of the classic Gin Martini. Adding 1–2 dashes elevates the crisp botanical notes of the gin and rounds out the dry vermouth.
• Classic Whiskey Drinks: It works beautifully as a modifier in a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned, contrasting against the sweetness of sweet vermouth, bourbon, or rye.
• Clear & Agave Spirits: The heavy cardamom and caraway profile means it "duets" exceptionally well with white rum, vodka, and earthy tequilas
