This exquisite bitters is made in France, using only whole botanicals, without the use of any commercial flavorings or dyes.
Pimento berry, also known as allspice, is a small dried berry that comes from the Pimenta dioica tree. It is native to the Caribbean and has been used for centuries in cooking and traditional medicine. The berry itself has a warm and spicy flavor profile, with notes of cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. It adds a rich and complex depth to the bitters, imparting a distinct warmth and aromatic quality.
Allspice berry, as its name suggests, has a flavor reminiscent of a combination of several different spices, including cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg. It is often used in baking and cooking to add a warm and aromatic touch to dishes. In DeGroff's pimento bitters, the allspice berry contributes to the overall complexity and depth of flavors.
Anise, a flowering plant native to the Mediterranean region, adds a subtle licorice-like flavor to the bitters. The use of anise in cocktails and spirits dates back centuries and is known for its ability to enhance the overall taste experience. In DeGroff's pimento bitters, the anise complements the other botanicals, adding a touch of sweetness and a unique twist to the flavor profile.
In addition to these key ingredients, DeGroff's pimento bitters also incorporates a blend of other herbs and spices, which are carefully selected to create a harmonious and well-balanced flavor profile.
