Our Story
Middleton’s Bitters was founded by Michelle Middleton, whose journey began five years ago during the pandemic. What started as a fun hobby quickly transformed into a passion project and, ultimately, a thriving business. With a background in sales and distribution within the construction industry, Michelle applied her expertise to build and grow the Middleton’s Bitters brand.

A Passion for Flavour, Inspired by History
For Michelle, bitters are more than just an ingredient—they are a tribute to history, evoking the flavours of the Prohibition era and the evolution of the cocktail. Noticing a lack of unique, high-quality bitters in the market, she began experimenting with spices to create distinct flavour profiles. Her dedication led to the creation of a product so exceptional, she felt compelled to share it.
