The Bitter Truth - Bogart Bitter - 42.1%
The company The Bitter Truth is renowned for producing bitters, liqueurs, and spirits specially designed to enhance cocktails. Based in Germany, this innovative company was founded in 2006 by two passionate bartenders, Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck, originally from Munich. With extensive experience in homemade bitters production for the bars where they worked, they successfully combined tradition and expertise to offer exceptional products. Stephan Berg, in particular, owns a vast collection of historical and modern bitters, some of which had disappeared for several decades, making him a true expert recognized in the world of bitters. Their approach is based on rigorous criteria, inspired by old cocktail recipes, often impossible to faithfully reproduce with today's standard ingredients.
The Bogart’s Bitters stands out as the first bitter mentioned in the very first cocktail book ever published, in 1862, by the legendary bartender Jerry Thomas, an iconic figure of the era. This unique bitter reveals a rich aromatic palette, delicately blending notes of sweet spices, coffee cacao, and fresh herbs, making each cocktail a memorable tasting experience.
