Gentian provides a firm bitter backbone, while black walnut contributes darker, earthy depth, and the restrained maple sweetness rounds the edges without obscuring the botanicals. The finish is concentrated and persistent, balancing citrus lift, fruit, spice, and deep aromatic bitterness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer’s Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLawrence Floyd Batterton began developing cocktail bitters in 2013, refining his original aromatic formula with feedback from bartenders and mixologists before formally launching King Floyd’s in 2017. The producer works with maceration and percolation rather than distilling its own spirits, extracting botanicals individually to control their potency and character before blending. Batterton continues as CEO and owner, with Luke O’Neal serving as Master Mixer. This extraction-focused approach remains central to King Floyd’s range of handcrafted cocktail bitters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe at room temperature and use three to five dashes to season an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or another whiskey-forward cocktail. For a classic Old Fashioned, combine the bitters with sugar and bourbon or rye, stir with ice, and finish with an orange twist. The citrus, cherry, cacao, and aromatic spice profile also works well with aged rum and brandy, particularly in stirred cocktails where concentrated botanical bitterness can add structure and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"King Floyd's","offers":[{"title":"100mL Bottle","offer_id":50220027740215,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2699\/1632\/files\/King_Floyd_s_Old_Fashioned_Bitters_California.png?v=1790350285","url":"https:\/\/www.winedispensary.com\/products\/king-floyds-old-fashioned-bitters-california","provider":"Wine Dispensary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
