Peychaud's Bitters - 148ml | American Bitter

Peychaud's Bitters is a bitters distributed by the American Sazerac Company. It was originally created around 1830 by Antoine Amédée Peychaud, a Creole apothecary from the French colony of Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) who settled in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1795. It is a gentian-based bitters, comparable to Angostura bitters, but with a predominant anise aroma combined with a background of mint. Peychaud's Bitters is the definitive component of the Sazerac cocktail. It is currently produced at the Buffalo Trace distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky.

Compared to Angostura, Peychaud’s are sweet and light, more sunny afternoon slushie than dusty leather armchair. While Angostura is hefty, with a woodiness and more pronounced bitterness, Peychaud’s is tart and juicy with a strong licorice wallop. The assorted baking spices of Angostura (clove, allspice, cardamom, and cinnamon) is dialed down significantly, with citrus and floral flavors rounding out the clove of Peychaud’s.
