Angostura

The production of Angostura rum is characterised by direct control over every stage: from fermentation to distillation, right through to tropical ageing in ex-bourbon casks. The distillery primarily uses continuous stills, which produce clean, elegant spirits, perfect for developing a balanced flavour profile during maturation. The core range reflects this philosophy: it starts with younger, more versatile rums such as the 3-year-old and 5-year-old, ideal for mixing, and moves on to more structured expressions such as the 7-year-old, the 1919 and the 1824, culminating in super-premium blends such as the 1787. A comprehensive range, designed to suit every occasion, from contemporary cocktail culture to more discerning tasting.

Angostura Aromatic Bitters is undoubtedly one of the most iconic ingredients in the history of mixology, a product that has helped define the very concept of the modern cocktail. Created by Johann Gottlieb Benjamin Siegert and still produced today by the House of Angostura according to a secret recipe, this bitter concentrates a complex aromatic profile of spices, herbs and citrus peel into just a few drops. Its use is extremely versatile: it is a key ingredient in great classics such as the Old Fashioned and the Manhattan, but also features in contemporary drinks, where it is used to add depth, balance sweetness or enhance aromatic components. And it’s not just for cocktails: a few drops can also transform soft drinks, sodas or culinary preparations, making it a true liquid ‘seasoning’ for bartenders and enthusiasts alike.
