What's up with those bitters?
They're bitters I created. Contains cigar tobacco, cherry wood, vanilla, allspice, cloves, and other botanicals that reminded me of a cigar bar experience. Kind of earthy and spicy. Andrea wrote a little about them in her "Love Machine" post.
I recall that Misty and John believed that the orange peel killed the flame too quickly, and they meant for the scotch to burn a while longer. So, executed a bit differently it might have had a better balance.
