Angostura Reinvents Its Rum Range with the New Angostura Grand Réserve

Founded in 1824, the House of Angostura is one of the most iconic spirits producers in the Caribbean. Globally renowned for its famous Angostura Aromatic Bitters, the distillery also produces a premium range of rums crafted in Trinidad and Tobago through a fully mastered process combining controlled fermentation, continuous column distillation, and aging in ex-bourbon oak barrels.

Today, the brand opens a new chapter with a complete redesign of its rum range. This transformation introduces a modern visual identity and a stronger premium positioning. At the heart of this evolution lies a key change: the legendary Angostura 1919 is now reborn as Angostura Grand Réserve.

Angostura Grand Réserve: The Evolution of an Icon

The story of Angostura 1919 dates back to a remarkable event. In the 1930s, following a fire in Trinidad and Tobago’s government rum warehouses, old barrels were rediscovered, leading to the creation of an exceptional blend that became legendary.

Today, Angostura Grand Réserve continues this legacy with a refined and elegant profile designed for both sipping and mixology.

A Premium Range to Rediscover

The refreshed Angostura range also highlights several iconic expressions.

Angostura Founder’s Reserve 1824 is a refined blend of aged rums matured in charred oak barrels, offering rich aromas of spices, raisins and vanilla.

Angostura Special Reserve 15 Years 1787 is a super-premium rum aged for a minimum of fifteen years, delivering a deep profile with notes of molasses, honey, chocolate and warm spices.

The Original 1919 Becomes a Collector’s Bottle

With the rebranding of the range, the remaining bottles of Angostura 1919 in their former packaging are set to become sought-after collector’s items. For rum enthusiasts and collectors alike, this represents a rare opportunity to secure a piece of Angostura’s history before it disappears from shelves.
