Angostura bitters, developed in 1824 by Johann Gottlieb Benjamin Siegert, a German doctor, was created in the Venezuelan city of Angostura, now known as Ciudad Bolívar. Siegert set up a hospital on the orders of Simón Bolívar, the South American freedom fighter, and initially developed the tonic as a treatment for tropical diseases.

Over time, however, it gained popularity as a condiment and is now a key ingredient in the preparation of classic cocktails.

The Angostura No. 1 Cask Collection Premium Rum undergoes a two-stage maturation process, starting with 10 years of ageing in first-fill American oak barrels, followed by a further 6 years of ageing in French oak barrels.

After a total of 16 years of maturation, the Angostura No. 1 Premium Rum Cask Collection presents itself as a rum that combines the specific characteristics of both types of wood. This careful maturation gives it a distinctive variety of flavors, characterized by the typical characteristics of American and French oak. (automated translation)
