Bourbon Barrel Aged Chocolate Bitters

I never thought I’d find myself raving about something called “chocolate bitters,” but here we are, and my taste buds are still celebrating. Woodford Reserve has somehow taken the essence of a Kentucky bourbon barrel, added chocolate, and transformed it into a tiny bottle of fancy magic that makes me feel like a mixologist—without actually having the skills. First Impressions: Opening the bottle, I felt like I should’ve been wearing a bow tie and talking about “notes” and “flavor profiles.” The smell is this glorious mix of chocolate and bourbon, which immediately convinced me that I’m fancier than I really am. Flavor Explosion: Adding a few drops to my drink was like inviting a chocolate-loving bourbon fairy to my cocktail. Suddenly, my sad little rum and coke was something special—an experience that deserves a monocle and slow jazz in the background. It’s rich, smooth, with just the right hint of chocolate and a touch of “I know what I’m doing,” even though I absolutely do not. Practicality? Look, I have no idea how often I’ll actually use it, but just knowing it’s there makes me feel like I could whip up a world-class cocktail any day now. I even considered putting a drop or two in my coffee, because why not? (And yes, it was incredible.) Final Verdict: Woodford Reserve Bourbon Barrel Aged Chocolate Bitters may not be something you need, but it’s absolutely something you’ll love. If you want to impress your friends, add a hint of sophistication to your cocktails, or just enjoy feeling fancy for a moment, this is the bottle for you.

I tried chocolate bitters during a recent cruise and had to purchase some when I returned home. After looking at other brand options, I decided to try the Woodford Reserve since it's the bourbon of choice at home. The taste and smell is spectacular with just a few drops in an Old Fashioned. The dropper is a great addition to easily control the amount in each drink. A quality product that I will purchase again!

Best chocolate butters out there hands down.

These bitters are amazing. an old fashion made with Woodford bourbon with a little maple syrup and a squirt of these bitters is amazing!! the scent of these bitters are strong. great chocolate scent! the dropper makes it easy to use.

It's great, makes for an interesting Manhattan, but really elevates an Irish coffee

I have tried a couple different chocolate bitters and found this one because of its great Amazon reviews. I was surprised by how pronounced and true the flavor is, which is definitely better than the other brands I’ve tried. While I like the flavor and it is my favorite, I do believe it could still be a bit richer. I was also pleased that the bottle came intact, as I am always nervous about shipping liquids in glass bottle.

This may very well be the best chocolate bitters I have ever had. Do be aware though that they are quite strong so a little of this goes a long ways, unlike many other brands. Very authentic and good cocoa flavor. If you haven't, try it in an old fashioned. Even better is make an old fashioned add a little banana liqueur and a little bit of this. It's like the perfect chocolate banana fosters.

I like this much more than the other (brand name) bitters. A complex cocoa taste that is great when added to coffee. Rather pricey but worth it.
