Quote from producer's website:

BOGART’S BITTERS can arguably  be said to have started the cocktail movement  as it was the first ever mentioned bitters in  the very first cocktail book published in  1862, written by the most famous bartender  of those days, Jerry Thomas – a name, synonymous  with the first golden age of the  cocktail.

Although no bottles of the Jerry Thomas  era ever surfaced, the common belief is that  Bogart’s was a kind of misspelling of Boker’s  Bitters at that time. Still the impact for  the development of the cocktail is without  question. Before other bitters appeared in cocktail  recipes around the world, there was Bogart’s/ Boker’s.  A beautifully balanced and versatile  cocktail bitter, it was even called for by  name in the first Martini recipe, printed in  1888, where one was instructed to use “genuine”  Bogart’s/Boker’s, indicating that this most  popular bitters had weak imitations floating  around.

And this makes sense, for if one actually  tasted one of the very few remaining bottles of original Bogart’s/Boker’s bitters, they  would discover that this magnificent bitter  is not a cardamom bomb, but rather a beautiful  mix of dark spice and chocolatey coffee,  that can only be achieved by using a very  expensive herb, an ingredient that others  use sparingly due to cost, but also to the  detriment of the final product.

The Bitter Truth have spent much time  in investigating the subject over the last 10  years and is in the possession of a super rare  original bottle – one of the only known bottles  to have survived with genuine remaining  contents, bottled around 1900.

Originally sold in iconic “lady leg” bottles  made of brown glass, these bottles were  defunct for about a century and have now  been reproduced for this special edition.  The same goes for the labels, which have  been redesigned from this surviving bottle.  The formula has been analysed, interpreted  and changes in flavor profile, due to  age, were substracted and the liquid formulated  in the way it authentically resembles  Jerry Thomas’ favorite bitters of more than  a century ago.
