Anyone else get watery Angostura Bitters?

Replenished my empty bitters bottle with the large size of Angostura bitters. I'm disappointed after spending so much money that it is very weak and watery compared to the product in the past.

Anyone else experience this? A mistake at the manufacturer's or are they cheaping out? The original was OK for cocktails, but this is too much to pay for the weak stuff I got this time around.

    I have absolutely seen a transformation within the style of Angostura. I've purchased all of it my adult life, to combine with soda water in the summertime as a evening cocktail. I on the whole purchase just a few bottles at a time. I ultimately ran out of all my bottles and went to buy just a few more. I notion I was once imagining things once I mixed my first "drink," so I didn't say whatever when I exceeded hers to my mom. She sipped slightly and then looked up and said, "I hate to say this, but it would not taste the identical." Tastes so much milder now, and extra cinnamon-y. Much of the bitterness is long gone and that indescribably refined old treatment style is gone. It is one of a kind now, and you're the handiest individual I've obvious say anything about it. To suppose my old bottles lasted for a number of years past the alternate, and i was once ignorant of it. I wish i would saved a drop to examine. I do read in places that there have been fears of a shortage of creation stoppage in 2009 -- but these did not materialize. Might be they adulterated their formula at the moment. Individuals now-a-days purchase everything via label and are rather clueless about taste. Appear at how they purchase their fruits and vegetables -- no longer by way of how they odor or style, but if they look beautiful. The label on the bitters bottle is the same -- which to many folks will be absolute proof that it is the equal, lol.
