About The Bitter Truth Pink Gin
The Bitter Truth Pink Gin pays homage to the cocktail that was mixed centuries ago aboard ships belonging to the Royal Navy. The gin is a blend of traditionally crafted, pot-distilled dry gin along with a proprietary blend of bitters that Berg and Hauck created specifically for the gin.The gin has a floral and fruity aroma, that is followed by smooth notes of anise, berries, fennel and caraway. The hints of juniper are subtle, and complement the slightly sweet flavors of the gin.
The Bitter Truth Pink Gin earned a Gold Medal at the Femmes et Spiritueux du Monde Concours International Monaco in 2011.

About The Bitter Truth
In the 19th century, sailors aboard ships belonging to the Royal Navy often blended gin with cocktail bitters in order to cure their seasickness. When the sailors returned home, they brought their taste for the concoction — often referred to as Pink Gin — with them. By the 1870s, gin's popularity was on the rise in Great Britain, and most fine establishments in England served Pink Gin.In addition, Pink Gin became the unofficial drink of spy agencies in British pop culture. Pink Gin was sipped by 007 in the novel The Man With the Golden Gun (the drink was a favorite of author Ian Fleming), tippled by beautiful divorcée Valentine in Agatha Christie's Poirot and enjoyed by SIS secret agent Jerry Westerby in British author John le Carré's Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
In 2006, Munich bartenders Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck gave birth to the idea of producing handmade, classic cocktail bitters. Their goal was to introduce a new line of bitters that would allow mixologists, bartenders and consumers everywhere to reach back in time and create traditional cocktails that were reminiscent of the drinks mixed centuries ago. After launching The Bitter Truth Co., Berg and Hauck decided to take the next step and created The Bitter Truth Pink Gin.
About Gin
According to Winston Churchill, "The gin and tonic has saved more Englishmen's lives and minds than all the doctors in the Empire," referring to the British officers using it to treat malaria in India.
Initially made for medicinal purposes, gin gets most of its flavor from the juniper berries added after the distillation process. It sure has come a long way from the Middle Ages, with the introduction of new botanicals, fruits, and spices, bringing it closer to people of all flavor varieties.
