Description
Building on his early success, Dr. Siegert established the House of Angostura in the eponymous Venezuelan city, where he began to manufacture his bitters on a grander scale (the business would later become the sole purveyor of bitters to the King of Prussia, Spain, and King George V). As he continued to expand, Dr. Siegart, along with his younger brother and his son, moved the House of Angostura to Port of Spain, Trinidad in 1876 and began producing rum. Today they are one of the leading rum producers in the Caribbean, offering a wide range of the famous spirit.Angostura Aromatic Bitters is a true classic and an integral part of every cocktail cabinet. The bitters are used in countless cocktail recipes to balance out acidity and take the edge off spirits while adding complexity and intensifying flavor. No mai tai, old fashioned, pink gin, or Manhattan can be without it. “A cocktail cabinet without Angostura is like a kitchen without salt and pepper.” The bitterness comes from gentian, along with a combination of other spices. Its palate-cleansing and digestive properties are an added bonus.Angostura Orange Bitters might come packaged similarly as the famous Angostura Aromatic Bitters signature oversized label and all yet the secret recipe is entirely different. It’s a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness with orange zest present on the nose and palate, along with spices. It pairs wonderfully with vodka, gin, rum, and whisky. The complex flavor goes well with savory sauces and dishes as well, going particularly well with seafood and chocolate.Grab a bottle today!
