Fee Brothers use charred oak Tennessee whiskey barrels, freshly emptied so the wood is still soaked with aged whiskey, to produce these particular bitters. They arrive once a year, in spring, in limited numbers.

Made with Angostura bark, citrus oils and a secret mix of spices, these are an interesting alternative to Angostura Aromatic Bitters in drinks such as a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned.

Packaged in Fee's familiar 118ml hand paper-wrapped bottle with flip-open cap and dash dispensing top.

Ingredients
Water, glycerine, flavours; other spice flavours, citrus oil, gentian and colours; caramel, Allura Red AC and Sunset Yellow FCF.
