The Bitter TruthBitters Creole, 20 cl

First, to stress that this is down to personal taste: if cinnamon is your thing, then you'll probably love it. But for me it was too reminiscent of Christmas. It just doesn't suit my intended usage of it here in a Yorkshire summer.I shall have to think of a way to use it come winter. Which I hope is not until December, but one never knows ......

If you’re looking to make your Martini extra dirty, this is the bitters you need. Super quick and easy Martini bitters for simple dirty cocktail.

I guess it is down to personal taste but I did not like the flavour at all. Extremely bitter, even when mixed in a cocktail and not a very pleasant taste. Extremely expensive. Nice looking bottle however.

Very pleasant and very blue indeed (if that’s your priority), but not very violetty. If you’re looking for that strong Parma Violet flavour you need to go with Briottet.

The grapefruit is actually quite subtle with this brands version. Not nearly as citrusy as Fee Brothers brand but it is more bitter. It's the first Bitter Truth variety I've been a bit disappointed by (in bitter truth) . It's fine, but not wow, and if you want the grapefruit to come through more, go for Fee Brothers.

An allspice liqueur that's essential for many tiki cocktails, with a spicy pepper/allspice/clove flavour dominant. The product description nails the flavours bang on and though initially sweet, it has a dry and spicy finish. Nothing tastes quite like it and if you find the right use for it you'll be hard pressed to find a substitute.

This is an excellent way to turn tonic in to lemon tonic. Very nice flavour with a true lemon tang. I have found all kinds of uses for it. Recommended.

I no longer do Bloody Maries without these bitters. Excellent bitters from an excellent producer. I actually tried celery bitters from another producer and found them revolting. I guess celery bitters offer no middle ground: you either succeed in making an excellent product, or you fail dramatically. I'll stick with Bitter Truth Celery bitters until I get tired of life!
