What is Peychaud's Bitters?

Peychaud's Bitters was created in New Orleans between 1849 and 1857 by Creole apothecary Antoine Amédée Peychaud — a gentian-based bitters like Angostura, but anise-and-mint forward, and the bitters that gave the Sazerac its name and character.

What's the difference between Peychaud's and Angostura bitters?

Both are gentian-based, but Peychaud's is lighter, brighter, and more anise-and-mint forward, while Angostura is warmer and clove-and-cinnamon forward.
