Peach Bitters were a classic style of bitters popular in the 19th-century during the first golden age of the cocktail but became defunct when more streamline tastes were in fashion. Although peach bitters never reached the popularity of orange bitters, they were one of the wider used bitters in classic cocktails. The Bitter Truth Peach Bitters are a contemporary interpretation of this classic style of bitters and are made from natural ingredients. The Bitter Truth Peach Bitters are fresh and fruity with intense, candied peach notes, backed by a seducing hint of almonds.

A natural aroma of fresh peaches dominates while it is completed by fresh citrus, hints of almonds, and unobtrusive spice flavors. On the finish it tails off with a herbaceous, nutty note, leaving more fizzy peach to linger.

In the golden age of the American cocktail, bitters were an essential ingredient and there were a vast array of flavors to choose from. Bitters complement and embellish the flavor of a well-made cocktail and they were carefully crafted with this in mind. Since 2006, The Bitter Truth forged the way for the re-emergence of the category of bitters in our modern age. With careful research, quality produce and tight production, The Bitter Truth have revived the practice of creating quality cocktail bitters. The Bitter Truth was established by passionate bartenders Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck in idyllic Bavaria with the intention of supplying bar aficionados with cocktail bitters that have not been seen in a century. Both men gained experience making small-batch cocktail bitters for the bars they represented. For years Stephan has been collecting ancient cocktail books and authentic bitters from the late 19th and early 20th century, and these were the inspiration for their first choice of cocktail bitter flavors.

Originally, cocktail bitters were the ingredient that distinguished cocktails from other categories of beverages such as Toddies, Slings, Fizzes, Sours, or Punches. For decades, they were an essential component of good cocktail creations. The start of prohibition curtailed consumers drinking habits, and cocktail bitters almost sank into oblivion. Only a few brands survived that period, but even after that, not all of them managed to reestablish themselves in the new market.
