{"product_id":"bitter-truth-orange-bitters","title":"The Bitter Truth Orange Bitters","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe Bitter Truth got its start in 2006 when founders Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck, frustrated by the lack of decent commercial bitters behind German bars, started making their own — this orange bitters was part of that original lineup. It's made simply: bitter and sweet orange peel steeped with herbs and spices (cardamom, caraway, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, gentian) in alcohol, with no caramel coloring or dyes added, which is why it pours a clear, light gold rather than the deeper orange-red found in some competitors. The nose opens with a traditional marmalade scent before warm spice takes over — cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove layered over the citrus. On the palate, that spice keeps leading the way: cardamom and a distinct caraway kick (almost aquavit-like) arrive first, with true orange peel oil closing things out. Compared to a sweeter, more zest-forward bitters like Fee Brothers, this one leans noticeably more toward spice and bitterness than straight orange candy flavor — a real point of difference worth knowing before you dash it into a drink. Tastings.com scored it 93 points. Essential in a classic Martini or Manhattan, though it works just as well with rum, whiskey, or tequila.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBuy The Bitter Truth Orange Bitters online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49000167178496,"sku":"C0010091L","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/Bittertruthorange_29908cd6-d688-4012-9276-d153b76ce1e8.jpg?v=1784085717","url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/products\/bitter-truth-orange-bitters","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
