Australian Bitters

Australian Bitters Company is a family owned producer based in Australia, making its bitters in small batches at its own factory rather than outsourcing to a larger contract distiller. The core aromatic bitters blends more than twenty botanicals, including gentian, chicory, and cardamom, for a spicier, fruitier profile than some traditional bitters brands. The wider range has grown around the same small batch approach, treating bitters as a serious ingredient in the world of spirits rather than an afterthought.

Each style starts from a different botanical base, ranging from a classic aromatic profile through to more inventive fruit and spice led blends, all made by hand in relatively small runs. A few dashes work the same way any bitters does, rounding out a classic Old Fashioned or Manhattan, while the more unusual styles suit contemporary cocktails just as well. It is a versatile addition to the world of bitters.
