The Bitter Truth Pimento Dram is based on selected pimento/allspice (also called Jamaica pepper) and the finest Jamaican rum. English explorers coined the term allspice because the berry seemed to embody the flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove all at once. On the Caribbean island of Jamaica, this distinctive aromatic liqueur has been produced for generations by macerating allspice in rum.

A concentrated tincture that evokes strong flavours of brown sugar, molasses, cinnamon, anise, and more. But the primary flavour that stands above all others is allspice (pimento). Only a smalll amount of this liqueur is needed to both sweeten a drink and bring with it a complex expression of this enigmatic spice.

A staple in Jamaican drinks. Try it in something as classic as a Planters Punch paired with a funky Jamaican rum, or in modern classics like a Lions Tail or an Ancient Mariner.

About The Bitter Truth:

Munich bartenders Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck were already experienced in making handmade bitters at the bars they worked at when they decided to produce cocktail bitters to supply the burgeoning revival of historical and craft cocktails. Stephan owned a large collection of contemporary and historical bitters, some of which hadn’t been produced for decades. Thus he knew what the most well-known bitters of the world, past and present, tasted like and was considered a specialist in the area. Since 2006 The Bitter Truth has been producing bitters using the classic method of macerating roots, seeds, barks, fruits, herbs, and plants in an alcohol base. The design of the bitters bottle refers to old medicine bottles from the 19th century and the label was designed with old-fashioned floral ornaments reminiscent of the golden age of cocktails.
