Taste profile
Anise-like aroma of sweet liquorice root leads into a deep, resinous body with earthy, herbal edges and a lingering faintly bitter, salty finish.
How it's used
Added in dashes as a seasoning, it lays a liquorice-forward aromatic accent over stirred and built drinks; a few drops season without dominating the base.
Substitutes for Liquorice bitters
Anise-forward herbal bitters, or a very small measure of a liquorice or anise liqueur for a sweeter effect.
Description
A concentrated tincture built on a high-proof spirit steeped with liquorice root alongside supporting herbs, roots and spices, then bittering agents to balance the sweetness of the root. The result is a dark, intensely flavoured liquid intended for dosing by the drop.
