What’s Up with Angostura Bitters.

by Columbine Quillen on April 17, 2010

Is it true that there is an Angostura bitters shortage?  Restock It is currently selling a 10 ounce bottle for $133.80!  I know that my local provider said that it could be weeks until they are back in stock – fortunately I have a back up bottle and about 30 other kinds of bitters (but there is something so reassuring about Angostura bitters).  Just think, once upon a time you could just buy Boker’s bitters.  Then there was a shortage – and now there isn’t any left in the entire world.  (Although a company in Great Britain supposedly is putting a Boker’s Bitters on the market).  Thank God that Angostura is still making bitters – it is supposedly just an issue with their bottle supplier.

Here’s some interesting links about the current shortage.

The BostonShaker store (online and here in Boston) has the 4 oz and 10 oz in stock. They’re not in that great of shortage around these parts.
