Bold in flavor and robust in complexity, the bourbon spirit base used in this recipe (instead of a typical neutral spirit) gives some serious backbone to Honest John’s fragrant and versatile Black Walnut Bitters. Moody and earthy, conjuring secrets kept and promises broken; old leather-bound books, sweet pipe tobacco, and autumn’s soft rain falling on trampled quaking aspen leaves in the High Uinta Mountains. There are notes of cocoa, allspice, black peppercorn, devil’s claw, and just a titch of maple for mellowness. Black Walnut Bitters stir up exceptional Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, or other whiskey cocktails, and are a comforting addition to iced coffee, café au lait, or any campfire Irish Coffee recipe.
