Bavarian pimento liqueur: allspice-forward spirit with pronounced bitterness, crafted by Bitter Truth's Frankfurt distillery.
Bitter Truth, the Frankfurt-based liqueur house founded in 2006, revived the pimento dram category—a 19th-century Caribbean staple nearly extinct by the 1980s. This expression centers on Jamaican allspice berries (pimento), macerated and distilled into a neutral grain base, then finished to 40% ABV.
The liqueur balances the warm, clove-forward spice of allspice with a deliberate bitter backbone—characteristic of the house's philosophy that bitterness is a flavor dimension, not a flaw. Pimento dram historically appeared in tiki and colonial-era cocktails; Bitter Truth's version restores that original intensity without modern sweetening drift.
The pronounced bitterness and moderate sweetness create a spirit equally suited to stirred drinks (Sazerac variations, spirit-forward cocktails) and neat sipping. Bottled at 500 ml.
Sommelier’s pick: Jamaican jerk chicken with allspice rub · Dark chocolate torte with cinnamon · Gingerbread with molasses
