The Bitter Truth - Pimento Dram is a spicy liqueur which is based on selected pimento/allspice berries (also called jamaicapepper) and the finest Jamaican rum. The pimento or pimiento is the berry from which the spice allspice is derived. English explorers coined the term allspice because the berry seemed to encapsulate the flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove all at once. On the Caribbean island of Jamaica, this distinctive aromatic liqueur has been produced for generations by macerating allspice in rum. The Bitter Truth liqueurs are prepared by infusing only the best natural ingredients like fruits, flowers and spices in either water or alcohol (maceration), and adding sugar. The Pimento Dram has a chocolate brown color. It is sweet, spicy and very intense. Clove initially presents itself in the foreground, fading into the pure flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper which linger on the tongue. Pimento Dram can be sipped on its own, but is also indispensable in many Caribbean and Tiki-Cocktails as well as traditional Caribbean dishes. |
