Fee Brothers Cardamon Bitters

Fee Brothers Cardamom Bitters shine in aromatic cocktails, especially those with gin, whiskey, or rum bases, adding a warm, spicy complexity that elevates the drink. While primarily used as a cocktail ingredient, adventurous drinkers might try a few drops in sparkling water or on the rocks for a refreshing, non-alcoholic option that pairs wonderfully with Middle Eastern and Indian cuisines, particularly during cooler months when its warming qualities are most appreciated.

Nose: Intense, spicy cardamom dominates with a subtle sweetness. Hints of citrus peel and warm cinnamon emerge. Aromatic and slightly medicinal, reminiscent of an Indian spice market.

Palate: Bold cardamom flavor floods the palate, accompanied by a sharp bitterness. Notes of ginger, clove, and black pepper provide depth. A touch of vanilla softens the spice. Viscous texture coats the mouth.

Finish: Long-lasting and warming. The cardamom lingers, gradually fading to reveal a dry, slightly astringent quality. Leaves a tingling sensation on the tongue, with subtle hints of licorice and citrus zest.

Fee Brothers Cardamom Bitters are made by infusing cardamom pods and other complementary spices in a neutral grain spirit base. The exact recipe and production methods are closely guarded trade secrets, but the bitters are known for their intense cardamom flavor and aroma, achieved through careful selection of ingredients and a precise infusion process.

• Fee Brothers Cardamom Bitters were originally created as a mistake when a batch of their Old Fashion Aromatic Bitters was accidentally infused with cardamom. The resulting flavor was so popular that it became a permanent addition to their lineup.
• These bitters are made using a unique cold-process method, unlike most bitters which are heated during production. This technique helps preserve the delicate aromatic compounds of the cardamom, resulting in a more vibrant and true-to-life flavor profile.
• The cardamom used in Fee Brothers Cardamom Bitters is sourced from a small, family-owned farm in Guatemala that has been growing cardamom for over 100 years. This particular variety of cardamom is prized for its intense, resinous aroma and slightly sweet flavor.
