The Bitter Truth Bogart’s Bitters 42.1% Vol. 0.35 l + GB is a historically accurate and high-quality cocktail bitters replica in the 19th-century style and plays a key role in the history of classic bar culture. This exceptional bottling is produced by The Bitter Truth, an internationally renowned producer of authentic bar bitters and classic cocktail ingredients. Bogart’s Bitters is considered the first bitters ever mentioned by name and was already cited in 1862 in the first cocktail book in history, written by Jerry Thomas, an icon of the first golden age of cocktails.


Even though no original bottles from Jerry Thomas's era have survived, it is widely considered certain that Bogart's was a contemporary spelling variation of Boker's Bitters. Even before other bitters made their way into cocktail recipes worldwide, Bogart's/Boker's was the authoritative standard. As early as 1888, the first printed Martini Cocktail recipe explicitly called for the use of "genuine Bogart's/Boker's," indicating its enormous popularity and the existence of inferior imitations. For over ten years, The Bitter Truth has conducted intensive research and analysis, supported by an extremely rare original bottle from around 1900 with authentic contents. The historic "Lady-Leg" bottle made of brown glass and the original label have been faithfully reproduced, emphasizing the museum-like character of this edition. The high-quality gift box appropriately completes the collector's and presentation value of this bottling.
