Barrel Aged Cocktail Bitters | 35% ABV (70 Proof) | 5 fl oz | Aged in Sazerac Rye Whiskey Barrels | New Orleans Cocktail Essential

Process & Profile

Peychaud's Barrel Aged Bitters 5oz is a richer, oak-influenced version of the classic Peychaud’s aromatic bitters. Built from the original Peychaud’s formula, this expression is aged in Sazerac Rye Whiskey barrels, giving the bitters added depth, spice, vanilla, and toasted oak character.

The barrel aging adds a warmer, rounder profile while keeping the signature Peychaud’s style of anise, gentian, herbs, spice, and aromatic bittersweet balance. Compared to standard Peychaud’s, the barrel aged version brings more oak, candied spice, vanilla, and soft whiskey-barrel warmth, making it especially useful in whiskey cocktails.

This 5oz bottle is a strong home bar and cocktail bar staple for Sazeracs, Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, Vieux Carrés, Whiskey Sours, and modern stirred drinks. Just a few dashes can add aromatic lift, barrel spice, and a classic New Orleans cocktail accent.

How to Enjoy

Peychaud's Barrel Aged Bitters are best used by the dash in classic and modern cocktails. Add them to a Sazerac for a richer barrel-aged twist, or use them in an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Vieux Carré, Whiskey Sour, or rye whiskey cocktail to add aromatic spice, oak, vanilla, and anise depth.

They can also be used in bitters and soda, sparkling water, mocktails, hot toddies, and culinary applications where a small amount of spice, herbs, and bittersweet complexity is needed. Because bitters are highly concentrated, start with a few dashes and adjust to taste.
