Originally Bitters were an essential component in creating a good cocktail, but with the Prohibition, they slowly disappeared and just few brands managed to survive, but recently there has been a great comeback internationally. Since 2006, the German company The Bitter Truth is doing its part to contribute to this development.
It all started during the Bar Show held in June 2006 in London when two Munich bartenders, Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck, had the brilliant idea of producing large-scale bitters, given the scarce supply in Germany.
In August 2006 the first two Bitter Truth came out on the market: Orange Old Time Aromatic. Shortly thereafter, Lemon was added, followed by Jerry Thomas, Creole, Celery, Grapefruit, Chocolate, Tonic and Peach.

Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
