These legendary bitters were created by Dr Johann Gottlieb Benjamin Siegert in 1824, who was Surgeon General in Simon Bolivar's army in Venezuela. The drink was originally created for a use as a medicine, but survives to this day due to its wonderful richness and complexity that adds a great "extra dimension" to a drink.
