These are my go to cherry bitters. I've tried Fee Brothers (disappointing) and these are by far the best. I love the flavor it brings to an old fashioned. I also like putting a few drops in a glass of bourbon. A few drops go a long way. I just wish the bottle were bigger. The price is a little steep for such a small bottle.
Have always thought bitters were an odd taste in a drink, but I hereby stand corrected, just received my first, but definitely not last, bottle of Spiced Cherry Bourbon Barrel Reserve bitters. All I can say is this is great stuff. Never cared for Manhattans, and yes, I know these bitters are not "traditional" for the purists, but, I can now say that a Manhattan made with these bitters is fast becoming a favorite. There is a strong aroma of cherry when you open the bottle, so use it sparingly, just a dash or two, it has a sort of sweet/spicy bite and would add pizzazz to many of your cherished cocktails. : = )
Best bitters ever. Delicious in Old Fashioned, great in Manhattans, and are also great to perk up some plain seltzer. No calories. Nice compliment to soda from my soda stream. And I LOVE the dropper bottle. Much better than the inaccurate shaking of the usual bitters bottles.
I have been introduced into the world of bitters, beyond the typical yellow lidded aromatic bitters collecting dust in the liquor cabinet. I was quite excited to try these in my Old Fashioneds. I do enjoy Woodford and I thought this would be perfect. I like these bitters and have even just added a dash or two to seltzer water for a non-alcoholic, low calorie "cocktail."
Awesome Bitters. Much better than what you will find at most places. I have tried 6 different brands and these are the best.

Description
Woodford Reserve Spiced Cherry Bourbon Barrel Aged Cocktail Bitters - 59ml
I use this in my version of Manhattans, specifically Jack Manhattans, as a way to keep the sugar down. While a traditional Manhattan with rye, with a maraschino cherry or two along with some of the juice, is fantastic, I really shouldn't be drinking that much sugar. So I use about half the normal amount of sweet vermouth, substitute these cherry bitters for the maraschino cherries (still using Angostura bitters as well), and then because there's less sweet to tame the rye, I substitute somewhat milder Jack Daniels for the rye. It's a cocktail I don't feel guilty having a few times a week.
If your on the fence cause your bitters are just fine, you're not just fine. Get it, the flavor definitely comes through in an old fashioned and is great. I will definitely keep it stocked in my bar. both the Cherry and Orange are different and pleasant. Dropper is real nice too for when I ask someone else to make up an old fashioned for me and asks how much bitters.
I got this to make some Old Fashioned drinks. They did not make me like Don Draper at all. Still a good product.
My husband bought it to make Manhattans and he loves it. I've tried it in sangria, gin and tonic, tequila sunrise, and rum punch--I think it's great in everything.
Product arrived exactly as described. I use this product to jump start autophagy, by drinking 5 drops in a cup of water an hour before bed. It's a key part of my fat burning protocol. Recommended
