Peychaud's Bitters 10oz (29.6cl, 35%)

Peychaud's Bitters is a gentian-based aromatic bitters originating from New Orleans, Louisiana, with a distinctive anise-forward flavour and bright crimson hue. Created by Haitian-born apothecary Antoine Amédée Peychaud in the early 1800s, it helped define American cocktail culture and remains an ingredient in the Sazerac. It is now produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, under the Sazerac Company, and bottled at 35% ABV. The aroma is dominated by bright anise, followed by cherry, mint and faint herbal bitterness from gentian root, with clove and celery seed. The palate is intensely anise-driven and slightly sweet, expanding into cherry, licorice root, quinine-like bitterness, orange zest and nutmeg, and is noticeably sweeter and more floral than other aromatic bitters.
