Angostura is one of the most famous and long-standing brands in the world of bitters and rum. Founded in 1824 by Dr. Johann Siegert in the town of Angostura, Venezuela (now Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela), the company initially produced its bitters as a medicinal tonic. Dr. Siegert was a Surgeon General in Simón Bolívar's army and created the bitters to treat soldiers' stomach ailments.
Angostura Bitters remain a secret blend of more than 40 different herbs and spices, making it an indispensable ingredient in both bars and kitchens worldwide. Its potent flavor and aromatic qualities make it a tiny addition that can transform a wide range of recipes and cocktails.
