Angostura 200th Anniversary Bitters (19.8cl, 48%)

Angostura 200th Anniversary Bitters is a limited-edition botanical bitters made to mark the brand's bicentennial, inspired by the original 1824 recipe. It is bottled at 48% vol in a 198ml bottle, in a single production run of 120,000 bottles. The botanicals include angelica root, Roman wormwood and nutmeg, steeped and aged for three months. It is the first Angostura bitters made on the house's own aged rum rather than a neutral spirit, and it is vegan, gluten-free and kosher-certified. The nose is sweet aniseed with baking spice, cardamom and cinnamon. The palate is astringent, with aniseed, cardamom, orange peel and an earthy note softened by creamy cinnamon. The finish is long and drying, led by cardamom, with a cooling touch of mint at the end.
