Bitter Truth Pimento Dram 50cl

This is the secret weapon for drinks that need depth, warmth, and a little swagger. Bitter Truth Pimento Dram is an allspice liqueur in the Jamaican “pimento dram” style—aka the thing that makes a Lion’s Tail taste like it belongs on your regular rotation.

If your home bar has ever had that “something’s missing” moment—your rum punch feels flat, your whiskey sour feels too clean—this is the fix. A small splash adds baking-spice heat and dark, toasty sweetness that plays ridiculously well with rum, bourbon, and citrus.

It’s not a one-note cinnamon candy situation. You get layered spice (allspice berries naturally hit like clove + cinnamon + nutmeg), plus a richer backbone that feels almost molassesy, which is why it shines in tiki and classic cocktail recipes.

• Nose: Big allspice up front—clove, cinnamon, nutmeg—with a dark, toasty sweetness underneath
• Taste: Warming spice and brown-sugar richness, with a rum-like depth that fattens up citrus and tamps down sharp edges
• Finish: Long and cozy—spice lingers, then fades into a gently sweet, peppery echo

Where it really earns shelf space: cocktails. It’s a go-to for a Lion’s Tail, and it’s insanely good in Planter’s Punch, Navy Grog, and other tiki builds where you want “holiday spice” without turning the drink into dessert. Even a dash can make a basic rum and citrus combo taste more complete.

If you’re the kind of person who loves messing with specs, this bottle is basically permission to experiment. Try it anywhere you’d use falernum or spiced syrup, but want something darker and more grown-up. It also plays surprisingly nice with amaro—spice + bitter is a very good time.

Fun fact: “pimento” here isn’t peppers—it’s allspice, and the name stuck because the berry was once mistaken for peppercorns when it hit Europe.
