Sepia Bitter is a contemporary aperitif – an homage to the French-style bitters of bygone years.With a base of roasted French chicory, which provides a full-bodied and lightly bitter canvas – Sardinian myrtle (tannic and spicy), fresh seasonal oranges (smooth and aromatic), angelica root (earthyand bright) as well as a handfulof other botanicals are painted together to create an intricately modern, bitter-sweet spirit.The result is a tension between the earthy – roasted flavours of chicory and myrtle and the ethereal brightness of orange.Sip Sepia over ice, in a light beer as is the tradition method in France, or in cocktails.

Description

The Audemus Distillery is a little atypical for the Cognac region, where we usually encounter giant copper beasts which can churn out hundreds of litres of their spirit a day. In fact, there are only a handful of distilleries around the globe that create the way we do. Originally inspired by the enigmatic work of Sacred Spirits of London established a few years prior, we understood the power of a small and agile offering in the world of distilling.


We operate a vacuum distillery out of the distiller’s (Miko’s) living room in the centre of Cognac. The principle behind this method of distillation is simple and now well documented. By lowering the pressure inside the still, we lower the temperature at which the alcohol will boil – meaning we avoid cooking the botanicals we distill; ensuring the freshness of flavour is maintained. Distilling is always distilling – evaporating and condensing; nothing more – however, it is a process that is infinitely complex in its simplicity and allows for a myriad of detail.
