Here at The General Wine, we're passionate about exploring the depths of every ingredient, and Fee Brothers' Aztec Chocolate Bitters offer a world of discovery for the curious drinker.

A Bitters Backstory:

The Fee Brothers name is synonymous with quality bitters, and their Aztec Chocolate expression takes inspiration from the Aztec civilization's love affair with cacao. The Aztecs enjoyed a bitter, spiced version of hot chocolate, and these bitters capture that essence, offering a deeply satisfying exploration of chocolate's potential beyond sweetness.

Tasting Profile:

The moment you uncork the bottle, a wave of intense dark chocolate engulfs your nose. Hints of cinnamon, chili pepper, and vanilla peek through, creating a captivating tapestry of aromas. On the palate, the rich chocolate takes centre stage, balanced by a subtle bitterness that lingers pleasantly. The warmth of the chili pepper adds a touch of intrigue, while the vanilla provides a touch of sweetness that keeps things harmonious.

Beyond the Basics:

While the "Aztec" in the name might suggest a fiery experience, these bitters are surprisingly well-balanced. The chili pepper adds a subtle warmth rather than an overpowering heat. This makes Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate Bitters incredibly versatile, allowing them to shine in a wide variety of cocktails.
