Peychaud Bitters

Peychaud’s is the classic bitter that pushes licorice root to the fore. It is also unique among aromatic bitters for its tart and fruity flavors, with lots of rhubarb-like vegetal twang and the sweet juiciness of cherry candy. There is some spice, mostly clove, with a pop of saffron and orange zest before a long and moderately bitter gentian finish.

Compared to Angostura, Peychaud’s are sweet and light, more sunny afternoon slushie than dusty leather armchair. While Angostura is hefty, with a woodiness and more pronounced bitterness, Peychaud’s is tart and juicy with a strong licorice wallop. The assorted baking spices of Angostura (clove, allspice, cardamom, and cinnamon) is dialed down significantly, with citrus and floral flavors rounding out the clove of Peychaud’s.
