Angostura was primarily known for its bitters, with a miracle bitter invented by Johann Siegert in 1824 to relieve digestive problems. Originally based in Venezuela in Angostura (now Ciudad Bolivar), the operations were transferred by the sons to Trinidad where they began producing rum. In 1949, their uncle built a new facility to create high-quality rums. The proprietary yeast strains of the company are still used to this day.
The distillery was moved to the Laventille distillery near Port of Spain, the company's headquarters, in the 1970s. With successive modernizations, the site produces approximately 50 million liters annually. The molasses come from various countries in South America and are distilled in different stills with multiple distillations. The juices are predominantly aged in ex-bourbon barrels. Angostura, with the closure of Caroni in 2003, is the only active distillery in Trinidad and is state-owned.
