Angostura

What Angostura does

Angostura Limited is a privately held spirits producer headquartered in Laventille, Trinidad and Tobago, operating as the operating subsidiary of holding company Angostura Holdings Limited. The company manufactures and globally distributes alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages built on a portfolio anchored by its 1824 proprietary ANGOSTURA aromatic bitters formula and a multi-tier rum range. Its production technology combines continuous-still distillation, bespoke yeast cultures, multi-cask aging (Bourbon Oak, French Oak, Oloroso Sherry, Madeira, Cognac), and traditional bitters blending, supported by on-site infrastructure including a Water Resource Recovery / Anaerobic Digester and a 432-panel solar PV system with battery storage.

The product portfolio spans core bitters (aromatic, orange, cocoa), standard rums (White Oak, Forres Park Puncheon, Fernandes Black Label, Royal Oak, VAT 19), premium aged rums (3-, 5-, 7-, 15-year, Founders Reserve 1824, Grand Reserve 1919), flavoured rums (Sorrel, Coconut, Pineapple, Tamboo), ready-to-drink lines (420 OG/Haze Passion/High Grade, Angostura Cubata, Puncheon Punch variants), non-alcoholic carbonated soft drinks (Angostura Chill LLB, Sorrel, Blood Orange, Ginger, Pear & Bitters), cocktail syrups (U.S.), limited-edition ultra-premium rums (Legacy, Infinity, Cusparia, Cask Collection, Tribute Chairman's Choice, 200-year Anniversary Bitters), and ancillary spirits (Amaro di Angostura, Mokatika coffee liqueur, Fernandes Cherry Brandy, Blu Vodka).

Revenue is generated through one-time unit sales across price tiers ranging from entry-level standard rums (e.g., 3-year-old) to ultra-premium limited editions priced at TTD$750 per bottle, distributed to over 170 markets via exclusive regional distributors (Velier S.p.A. for Italy, Paterno Imports for USA rums, Mizkan America for USA bitters), owned retail outlets under the Solera Wines & Spirits / House of Angostura banner across Trinidad and Tobago, third-party retailers, and direct e-commerce through soleratt.com. Target customer segments include Caribbean consumers, 21-35 urban professionals (especially via RTDs), professional bartenders and on-trade accounts, global premium spirits consumers, and ultra-premium rum connoisseurs. The current Angostura 2.0 x3 strategy publicly targets revenue doubling and profit tripling by 2028.
