Convict, our flagship bitters, takes its name from the convict ships where bitters first arrived in Australia. Crafted to perfect the Lemon, Lime & Bitters and give cocktails a modern Australian twist.

DESCRIPTION

Born from a father-son weekend ritual, Convict Aromatic Bitters has evolved into an award-winning artisanal craft. Rooted in family heritage and Australian ingenuity, it represents a unique blend of tradition and modernity. 

Each batch, meticulously crafted in Sydney, undergoes a 144-hour extraction process. This method infuses native botanicals with age-old techniques, perfectly balancing the traditional bitters profiles with a unique, captivating character. The result is a versatile blend that enhances both classic and contemporary cocktails, offering a taste experience that pays homage to our Australian roots.  

Convict Bitters is more than an ingredient; it's a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and flavour innovation, embodying the spirit of Australian heritage in every sip.

Game changer for Old Fashioneds
A friend brought a bottle of this to a gathering, and having sampled it I bought my own bottle as soon as possible.
Makes a phenomenal Old Fashioned, giving a great herbal flavour without the tannin/astringency of Angostura. Convict Bitters are smoother and more complex in flavour, without overpowering the spirit.
Unreservedly recommended.

The bitters came through beautifully.
