Caramel coloring

A food coloring additive made by heating sugar until it browns, used to give cola, whiskey, and other beverages their characteristic amber-brown color. In spirits production, caramel coloring standardizes the visual appearance of aged spirits. It adds a slight bittersweet note in large quantities.
