From great explorations come great discoveries, like our Blackstrap Bitters. These slightly spicy bitters were discovered while exploring aromatic bitters and inspired by the key roles Caribbean rum and American whiskey played in the cocktail boom. Blackstrap marries both spirits, fostering a union yielding a rich and smoky profile that’s all its own. With two types of molasses, three types of cinnamon, nutmeg, and black cardamom, every dash is full bodied and earthy. Two of its main ingredients – the aforementioned nutmeg, plus mace – hail from Myristica Fragrans, the only tree that produces two separate spices. Visually striking, its aroma is intense; the perfect crown sitting atop your favorite egg white cocktail as a garnish. Every batch is slow crafted with high-proof whiskey not merely as a solvent, but as an agent of flavor. That’s why Blackstrap is at home in stalwarts such as the Manhattan and Old Fashioned, while holding its own against robust spirits like mezcal.
