Our associates at Excessive Camp make some fairly superior ingesting vessels — and so they additionally make one factor you’ll be able to really eat, their very own bitters, known as Campfire Bitters.
Campfire is a rarity in that it lists (most of) its elements on the label. These embrace gentian, cinchona, cinnamon, salish, pepper, after which “pure roots and spices.” And alcohol, in fact. All aged for 60 days.
I really like all the information, however the bitters are completely terrible. A contact of the stuff on the tongue reveals an amazing taste that features ashy burnt wooden, coarse floor black pepper, and grandma’s previous fragrance — a horrific mixture that makes one query what the designer of those bitters might have probably been aiming for. The smokiness is huge and unimaginable to overstate, and even when watered down properly, the impression that one is licking the within of a chimney (or, I suppose, a dying campfire) is unimaginable to interrupt away from. A mere drop or two in a cocktail immediately offers it a powerfully smoky kick, however not in a manner that provides any magnificence, such as you’d get with, say, a misting of Islay Scotch. To that finish, I by no means discovered a recipe the place I assumed including Campfire made issues higher than one other model of bitters — or just going with out.
I really like experimenting with several types of bitters, however that is a type of instances the place issues simply didn’t pan out. Stick to Excessive Camp’s prime shelf {hardware}.
