We were fascinated to see just
what product lines are made here - and sample them of
course.
 and now  ANGOSTURA AROMATIC
BITTERS is a highly concentrated food and beverage flavouring.
Made from a secret formula, it is a unique blend of natural herbs and spices
which is used to flavour a wide variety of foods and drinks. The "secret" was
developed in 1824 by Dr. J.G.B. Siegert, a Surgeon General in Simon Bolivar's
army in Venezuela. He used his aromatic bitters to improve appetite and
digestive well-being of the soldiers. The word "Angostura" came from the town of
that name in Venezuela where Dr. Siegert was based. Angostura aromatic bitters
is a unique flavour enhancer for food preparation, beverages and deserts; just a
few dashes can enhance the flavour of any dish. It is not
bitter when added to food & drink, but rather has the ability to marry
flavours, bringing out the best in them without masking their taste.
It is great with the following, just add a few dashes to add a burst of flavour:
- Fruit juices and
fresh fruit salads
- Coffee - Ice Cream (especially vanilla, coconut, rum & raisin) - Seasonings and marinades (especially for meats) - Soups and sauces - Our favourite is a couple of splashes in the top
of a coffee liqueur / evaporated milk / rum cocktail on ice
- A must in every kitchen cupboard and drinks
cabinet

 ANGOSTURA 1919 rum possesses a rich, golden-amber
hue with excellent clarity. The rum exudes a complex bouquet brimming over with
aromas of cocoa, molasses, caramel and vanilla.
It is remarkably soft and well rounded as the rum glides over the plate without a hint of harshness or biting edge. Within moments it opens up, revealing a generous and long-lasting array of toasty flavours. The finish is warm and very relaxing. Bear like many others prefer this to 1824 and this is the rum Jump Jet bought Bear in Antigua when she came to visit, little did we know then we would ever visit where it was made. Ninetini

The bouquet is seductively rich with aromas of sweet molasses, vanilla, honey,
spice and cognac-like notes.

mouth-watering flavours of honey, fruit, chocolate, spices and herbs. The finish
is remarkably long and flavour-packed.

   LIMBO DRUMMER RUM. This product was created in the early sixties and available up to 1992. It was rejuvenated with a mixture of Angostura rums in 2005 and is being produced mainly for the duty free market. They are hand-painted and labeled at Angostura distillery. It is available in most duty free outlets in the Caribbean and soon to be available internationally. The bottles are all hand painted on site but we were not allowed to take pictures in the bottling plant, but real fun to see hundreds of these happy little chaps sitting waiting to be filled.

Angostura Fuh So
1 oz Angostura White Oak Rum 1 oz Amaretto 1 oz heavy cream 1/2 oz grenadine syrup fresh cinnamon 3-4 dashes Angostura aromatic bitters Methodology: Blended & Layered on Grenadine Glassware: Cocktail  FORRES PARK was the name of the old sugar estate the Fernandes family acquired in the early 1930's. Forres Park Rum derived its name from this estate and the large casks known as "Puncheons", in which over-proof rum was stored a long time ago. It was once conserved for use by the Fernandes family and their estate workers who enjoyed its robust strength and smooth taste, especially in the cool evening time. However, the secret of this rum was too delicious to be kept from the entire world. Amazingly, without branding or marketing its popularity spread like wildfire, and today it is Trinidad's favourite over-proof rum. Why not take a nip in the evening when the cool Caribbean breeze makes you remember times of old, or mix it to make exotic drinks and rum punches. Zombie

 LLB
or LEMON, LIME AND
BITTERS. How does a drink become part of a country’s culture? It
certainly takes a special drink, one that caters for a real need of the
consumer. Well that's what has happened in Australia. Australia is a sports mad
society. Virtually everyone participates in some form or another in sport. The
climate certainly encourages the population to venture outdoors. Golf is the
leading participation sport in Australia and whilst golf is a prestigious sport
it is accessible to all. There are some 900 registered golf clubs in Australia,
catering for 1.4 million players, who play 33 million rounds each year. It is
here that Angostura find the origins of LLB. At the traditional 19th hole,
it is almost mandatory to enjoy a refreshing Angostura lemon, lime &
bitters. The tradition has been handed down through the generations, after a
round of golf, when you are hot and thirsty the first thing you ask for is an
LLB. The first time we ever saw it was when Jim from Bees Knees orderred one in
the Yacht Club in Grenada, we still haven't tried it.
