Boy Drinks World Barrel-Aged Aromatic Walnut Bitters are robust aromatic cocktail bitters, handmade in San Diego, California, and bottled at 45% ABV in a 4 oz (118ml) dropper bottle.
They combine the richness of whole walnuts with a luxurious, complex blend of aromatic and bitter herbs, including black cardamom, licorice root and black walnut leaf.
The bitters are aged in American oak barrels, giving a rich, oaky, leathery and gently smoky character with a strong walnut backbone.
They are made by hand in very small batches with all-natural ingredients.
The apothecary-style label, with its 'Pharmacology of the Spirit' motto, makes them a handsome addition to any home bar.

How to Enjoy It
A few dashes of Boy Drinks World Aromatic Walnut Bitters add depth to stirred whiskey and rum drinks. Use them in an Old Fashioned with bourbon or rye, a Manhattan, a Rum Old Fashioned with aged rum and demerara, or a Sazerac alongside Peychaud's.

A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays.
