{"product_id":"the-bitter-truth-old-time-aromatic-bitters","title":"The Bitter Truth Old Time Aromatic Bitters","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAromatic bitters are the oldest, most foundational style in the category — dating to the late 18th century and arguably the single most-used bitters in cocktail history, since an Old Fashioned or Manhattan simply doesn't work without a few dashes. The Bitter Truth's Old Time version, made in Germany at 39% ABV, is built specifically to compete with the category's default choice, Angostura, and plenty of longtime Angostura drinkers have made the switch after trying it. It pours clear and golden, sometimes with a bit of natural sediment, and opens with cinnamon and clove up front, backed by gingerbread warmth and subtler nutmeg and tutti-frutti notes. On the palate, it turns bitter and tangy, with bitter quinine, cinnamon, cardamom, anise, and clove all coming through with real intensity — genuinely more assertive and complex than most mass-market aromatic bitters. It's built for whiskey and rum drinks in particular, adding real structure and depth, though it works just as well brightening up fruit-forward cocktails. Reach for it in a classic Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or Old Cuban.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eBuy The Bitter Truth Old Time Aromatic Bitters online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chips Liquor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49000185233664,"sku":"C0010095L","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/BitterTruthAromatic.jpg?v=1784085846","url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/products\/the-bitter-truth-old-time-aromatic-bitters","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
