Angostura Aromatic Bitters

Angostura Aromatic Bitters, a true classic, hails originally from Angostura, Venezuela (now Ciudad Bolívar), where it was developed in 1824 by Dr. Johann Siegert as a medicinal tonic for soldiers. The secret recipe of herbs and spices, which remains unchanged, quickly found favor beyond its initial purpose, becoming a key ingredient in cocktails. Production moved to Port of Spain, Trinidad, in 1875, where the House of Angostura continues to make it today. The brand is renowned worldwide for these iconic bitters, easily recognizable by their oversized label—a result of a historical printing error that became a branding triumph—and is a staple in countless bars and for home cocktail enthusiasts.

Angostura Aromatic Bitters delivers a potent punch of baking spice and distinct bitterness, with notes of clove and cinnamon weaving through. It's a foundational element in countless classic cocktails, think Old Fashioneds and Manhattans, seamlessly marrying spirits and adding essential complexity to your home bar creations.

Expect an aromatic bouquet of herbs, orange zest, cinnamon, and clove. The palate delivers a complex burst of cardamom, more dried fruit, and baking spices, with a distinct, lingering finish of cinnamon and bitter orange.
