    I think I picked up the last bottle I got in the local SuperValu - not that hard to find really.

    Eh it is really hard to find. I've never seen it in any supervalue or any supermarket or any off-licence and I looked long and hard for months and months before finding it in Sainsburys in Newry during the summer.

    Having said that, recently my local in Perrystown in Dublin got in a few bottles of it cause some company went to the wall in the UK so his supplier was shifting them.

    I got one for a fiver in Sainsburys in Newry - about a fiver in pounds I think at a time when that was say €5.50 or whatever.


    What are ye using it for out of interest?

    I use it for a pink gin - a couple of splashes into a Gin and Tonic - and a lemon and lime bitters(almost non alcoholic refreshing drink - lemonade, ice bitters, lemon or lime juice, and a lemon garnish). I read somewhere its great in puddings!

    Bitters used to be like the secret ingredient in a cocktail and back when bartending was a skill a bartender would have a vast array of various bitters. Nowadays you'll be lucky if you find Agonstura on the back wall. I liken it to how a cook would use salt or pepper. It's there to help gel the ingredients together and accentuate flavours. Throw it in to any drink you're making to see how it turns out. You only need a dash or two before shaking or stirring.

    Original real Martinis would've had a dash.

    Important ingredient in brandy and whiskey sours as well.

    I brought a few bottles back from Trinidad a few years ago. Cost me about e1 a bottle!

    Any proper off-licence. Very big Supervalus (ex Superquinn basically). They aren't even vaguely hard to find compared to, say, Peychauds.
