While the origin of bitters can be traced back to the 1700s in England, where they were created for medicinal uses, the use for flavoring drinks began in the 1850s in the U.S., and the name "cocktail" was born. Now a staple in many cocktails today, these hand-crafted cocktail bitters are made with all-natural flavors and are matured in Woodford Reserve bourbon barrels for approximately 3 months to achieve an authentic taste with just the right amount of smooth oak to complement your dark spirits. Packaged in a 2 fl. oz. glass bottle with a re-sealable lid and dropper top, adding precise amounts of bitters to your drinks is an easy task. Plus, its sleek design and Woodford Reserve logo provides attractive shelf presence in your bar, lounge, or tavern, so your customers will instantly know they are being served a high quality drink.
