A Legacy of Timeless Flavor: 200 Years of Angostura

Every dash of ANGOSTURA® bitters has told a rich story for two centuries. The iconic bitters brand was born in 1824 when it was first formulated as a medicinal tincture in Venezuela by Dr Johann Seigert. In the 1870s, Dr Siegert’s three sons moved to Trinidad, where Angostura® bitters has been made ever since to the exact recipe as in 1824.

In the 1950s, ANGOSTURA® decided to apply its passion for blending into crafting a range of beautiful rums. With an award-winning rum portfolio from the only distillery in Trinidad and Tobago, Angostura is one of the island's crown jewels with its premium rums, and its two centuries-old history is a testament to the company’s grit, drive, and determination.

"At ANGOSTURA®, we are thrilled to continue our year-long 200th-anniversary celebration showcasing the timeless flavors of our award-winning premium aged rums and bitters in a collection of cocktails that truly embodies the essence of summer," said Laurent Schun, CEO of Angostura. “The Resort Cocktail Collection is our way of inviting everyone to join us in commemorating this significant milestone. Open a bottle and you're there — on island time.”
