Bitter Aromatic Fee Brothers Bitters Gin Barrel Aged Orange (150ml 9%) - crb

The year was 1835 and on a cold day in March the Irishman Fee Owen landed in America at the age of 31. By 1847, Owen had opened a butcher's shop and was living in Rochester, New York, with his wife, Margaret, and their five children. One of them, James, opened a grocery store with Californian and European imported wines, spirits and liqueurs in 1864, the date that appears on the labels. In 1883 the remaining brothers founded Fee Brothers, which would have to face an endless series of difficulties in the following years. In 1908 Rochester, the neighborhood where they had the warehouse was destroyed by a fire, while 1919 marked the beginning of prohibitionism which risked completely eliminating the company. La Fee survived thanks to the creative flair of the Fee brothers who began to market large cans of concentrated grape must for food purposes, with which it was possible, by diluting them with water and adding yeast, to obtain a decent quality home wine. This practice is also confirmed by the diary entries of Depero, the futurist who lived in New York in those years. Fee also sold a malt syrup used in bread making (on which it was written "Do not add yeast, it could ferment" to protect their desire to respect the law) and a series of syrups to possibly also obtain liqueurs. With the repeal of the XVIII Amendment and the end of the Noble Experimet, business resumed with the hiring of 28 employees. The story is a crescendo of successes until the decision to abandon the importation of wines to dedicate itself from the 70s onwards to the production of liqueurs and bitters.

The Fee Brothers Bitters range is made up of 20 references to make each cocktail even more rounded and tasty.
