Angostura aromatic bitters are probably among the very first bitters that were ever used to prepare mixed drinks. And even today they still seem to be the salt and pepper used to season drinks by any bartender around the world. While you have a choice in hundreds of different bitters today, the original Angostura aromatical bitters are still the preferred bitters for a wide array of drinks.
The Brooklyn is a variation on the Manhattan, adding the sweetness of Maraschino liqueur to the recipe. Again a recipe that will work much better with slightly higher proof whisky. (100-110 Proof would be a much better choice than 80 proof in this case).
