Castro Spirits Bitteráneo Mediterranean Tentoura
Greece’s First Bitters, Discover Bitteráneo Mediterranean Tentoura Bitters, an innovative spirit that brings the aromas and flavours of the Mediterranean into every drop.

At its heart is the famous Tentoura Castro, the traditional Greek liqueur of Patras, renowned for its warming blend of cinnamon, cloves, fruits, and aromatic spices. The addition of artemisia lends a refined bitterness, while a touch of Greek honey rounds the palate with a subtle golden sweetness.
Created by the historic Castro Distillery in collaboration with acclaimed bartender Fotis Tritsis, Bitteráneo represents a new chapter in Greek spirits. Combining traditional craftsmanship with modern mixology, it showcases the rich botanical heritage of Greece in a format designed for today’s cocktail culture.
Handcrafted in small batches and developed through extensive research, Bitteráneo delivers authenticity, complexity, and premium quality in every bottle.

About the brand:
The Hahalis family, owners of the Tentoura Castro Distillery, has deep roots in Chios, the island famous for its production of mastic. Originally established in the 19th century, the business moved to Patras in 1939, where it eventually flourished. The family distillery is known for preserving traditional methods of extraction and distillation, producing premium spirits like Tentoura—a liqueur native to Patras made from cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg.
In the 1990s, the distillery moved to a modern facility in the Romanos region near Patras, benefiting from the area's high-quality water and optimal environmental conditions for aging spirits. Today, Tentoura Castro remains a leading name in Greek spirits, blending tradition with innovation, such as collaborations with universities for product development and sustainability projects.
