Peychaud's Bitters
Gentian-based bitters
Peychaud's Bitters is a bitters distributed by the American Sazerac Company.[1][2] It was originally created between 1849 and 1857 by Antoine Amédée Peychaud, a Creole apothecary from the French colony of Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) who traveled to New Orleans, Louisiana, around 1793.[3] It is a gentian-based bitters, comparable to Angostura bitters, but with a predominant anise aroma combined with a background of mint.[4] Peychaud's Bitters is the definitive component of the Sazerac cocktail.[5][6] It is currently produced at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky.
