Flavor Profile
Flavorah Back Bar Bitters delivers an authentic aromatic cocktail bitters experience with classic gentian, quinine, and wormwood complexity. The aroma presents dry herbal character layered with warm spices and subtle boozy depth.

This is a highly potent, concentrated flavor that captures the essence of professional bar bitters. The authentic profile makes it essential for old-fashioned, Manhattan, and any application requiring genuine cocktail bitters character.
