Following the initial success of earlier offerings many would ask when a citrus bitters would be added to the portfolio. The opportunity arose when the founder reformulated a bitters for a cocktail competition entry in 2010 and found his fellow competitors were more interested in the bitters than the sponsor brand. Spotting a growing trend for chamomile influenced drinks in Scandinavia the temptation to bring a new style of citrus bitters, with a clear floral influence, proved too much…
It was during the mid-1800s that Spanish Bitters were first established and celebrated for their medicinal benefits, but it was the botanical profile and flavour that was really of interest, allowing to build on the citrus and floral base by removing botanicals which were no longer deemed safe for consumption, whilst replacing them with ingredients which would compliment and enhance the primary flavours, whilst at the same time working in harmony with the many spirits used in bars around the world today. First released as a limited edition bottling in 2010, the demand made for their permanent return in 2012 thus consolidating their place in the portfolio.
