Note to the Editor

The House of Angostura®

Capitalizing on its heritage as the world's most well-known maker of aromatic bitters,the House of Angostura® has catapulted into the 21st century with an exquisite range of rums,the magnificent Amaro di ANGOSTURA® and of course,ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters and ANGOSTURA® orange bitters,now in demand in more than 170 countries across the world.

The Making of Angostura® Rums

The rums of the House of Angostura® are a treasured legacy,a tribute to the evolution of the rum industry in the Caribbean and the men and women who nurtured it. The House of Angostura® owns the only rum distillery in Trinidad today,and controls its rum manufacturing process from end to end. Our rums are blended by masters with years of experience and training in original traditions,who closely maintain guarded formulas and techniques. Our blenders are involved at every stage to ensure the highest quality and consistency,from molasses selection through to cask selection.

The House of Angostura® is renowned for its unique,signature style,which stems from techniques that have stood the test of time. Our premium rums are made from the highest quality molasses fermented with proprietary yeast cultures,distilled in continuous stills,then aged in charred oak barrels.

The House of Angostura®: A Rich Rum History

The House of Angostura's award-winning rums are steeped in more than 190 years of tradition. The journey started in 1824 when founder Dr. Johann Siegert first produced aromatic bitters in Angostura,Venezuela (today called Ciudad Bolivar). In the 1870's,Dr. Siegert's three sons migrated to Trinidad,among them Don Carlos Siegert,who pioneered the brand,establishing ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters as an integral ingredient in premium cocktails and ultimately a mainstay of cocktail culture. The family's Siegert Bouquet Rum became a Trinidadian tradition up until the early 1960's and part of the company's rich rum heritage. In the 1970's,The House of Angostura® expanded,acquiring the Fernandes family distillery,which was founded in the 1890's by Manoel Fernandes,an immigrant from Portugal,and known for making high quality rums.
