Scrappy's - Orleans | American Bitters

One of a series of bitters from a relatively new company in Seattle Washington (although truth be told anyone other than Fee, Angostura, Underberg and Peychauds - all in business for over 100 years - is a relative newcomer). Founded by Thomas Miles of Tavern Law a couple years ago after making homemade bitters at the bar because of the lack of any decent commercial bitters (much like a few other small bitters companies).

The Scrappy's Bitters chaps have tried to evoke the flavours and personality of New Orleans with their Orleans Bitters, using notes of anise, cinnamon, citrus and floral wafts. Sazeracs at the ready...
Bright and vibrant, the anise arrives first. Soon becomes sweet, with an ethereal note of flower petals at the end.
