5.0 out of 5 stars The Six pack! Perfect for the Home Bar June 17, 2009

By Eric Hofmann

I have tried several of Fee Brother's Bitters and I am ordering the rest of them today. The Orange and Peach Bitters are the finest there is. I might be one of the few people that has actually compared different brands of bitters. If you want to have a complete battery of bitters for mixing drinks at home or at a bar, you need:

Orange Bitters
Peach Bitters
Lemon Bitters
Old Fashioned (Angostura-type) Bitters
Peychaud's Bitters
Jaegermeister
Campari
Unicum

I have used Fee's Brothers at my bar for over ten years, and you can't get some of these anywhere else in the world, if you like mixed drinks, you'll need to buy several of these from Fee Brother's, the complete 8 pack is great. The Old Fashioned Bitters you can get lots of places, and Angostura is quite good, but Fee Brothers is every bit as good. Fee Brother's Orange Bitters is far better than Angostura's Orange Bitters, so I think this set is the quintessential set you'll need. Go ahead, try to find peach or cherry bitters from another company. Get some Peychaud's and a few others and you're good to go.

The idea of rhubarb bitters seems a little strange to me, but I haven't tried it, to be honest, and rhubarb might be a little overkill, so this six pack might be perfect for lemon, orange, peach and cherry bitters. Grapefruit sounds great, look forward to trying it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Producet, but 2 Major Failures -- Fire your log/ops, FeesBros. March 4, 2012

By Cliffton Mcintire

Amazon Verified Purchase

The products are great. I love mixing drinks, and these bitters give me a bit of an extended arsenal on some otherwise standard and expected recipes.

But there are 2 major problems. The first, and in my opinion more minor, is in packaging/shipping. At least 2 of the 6 bottles arrived having leaked 1/4 of their contents. When I received my order I opened my large-ish Amazon box of office supplies and was greeted with a wall of fruity boozy KABOOM!!!. This was because the orange and peach bitters leaked all over themselves, their fellow bottles, and into the enclosing box. No biggie, some lost product, but I can deal.

The second and more problematic problem is that the shaker caps don't fit. I wanted 3 dashes of lemon bitters in my manhattan and received 3 oz. It's not a loose fit, it's a non-fit. The cap is way way too loose. Even if you try to shake it cautiously it jumps right off. Not just 1 of my bottles, it's done it on the lemons and the grapefruits. I've only tried 4 of the bottles so far, so that's a 50% catastrophe rate. 2 drinks with fine bases, down the drain, undrinkable.

This set is awesome, but HEED THE WARNINGS, sailors.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not my style bitters. April 5, 2012

By Andrew Lazorchak

I wish I had known previously that Fees are glycerine based bitters, and it my fault I did not research this more. However with the cocktail craze and people buying bitters at break neck pace these days. One should know that "traditional" bitters are alcohol based extractions and give a much different flavor profile than sugar extracted bitters "glycerine extraction".

I will try returning my bitters, which are untouched, as I learned my mistake after ordering.

I highly recommend Scrappy's bitters from Seattle.
