Features
The recipe was developed as a tonic by Johann Gottlieb Benjamin Siegert a German surgeon general in Simón Bolívar's army in Venezuela. Siegert began to sell it in 1824 and established a distillery for the purpose in 1830. Siegert was based in the town of Angostura (afterward renamed Ciudad Bolivar) and used locally available ingredients, perhaps aided by botanical knowledge of the local Amerindians. The product was sold abroad from 1853, and in 1875 manufacturing moved from Ciudad Bolivar to Port of Spain, Trinidad, where it remains.
Angostura won a medal at the Weltausstellung 1873 Wien, a World's Fair held that year in Vienna. The medal is still depicted on the oversized label, along
with the reverse, which shows Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria in profile.
The exact formula is a closely guarded secret, with only one person knowing the whole recipe, passed familialy.
For the better guarantee of product authenticity of this aromatic bitters the label on every bottle bears the facsimile of the signature of Dr. J.G.B. Siegert. There are other aromatic bitters but only one Angostura® aromatic bitters, the brand name under which Dr. J.G.B. Siegert and his successors have sold their product throughout the world since 1830. It does not contain Angostura Bark but derives its name from the fact that it originated in the town of Angostura, Venezuela, renamed Ciudad Bolivar in 1846.
Angostura® aromatic bitters was first made in 1824 and may be distinguished from all other aromatic bitters by its fine flavour and aromatic odour. Produced in Port of Spain, Trinidad, W.I. by Angostura Limited from the original formula, Angostura® aromatic bitters has become famous
