To Get Some Answers About Angostura Bitters, the Cocktail World's Most Mysterious Product, I Went to the Source in Trinidad.
A bottle of Angostura is on my list of “emergency supplies” - water, advil, solar powered radio and Angostura. 😂
I wrote the Angostura Bitters entry for the Oxford Companion, and researched that angle extensively.
Indeed. I consulted it to confirm my own findings. Excellent job.
Sorry! Meant to reply to Martin.
The Frank Morgan story is gold.
It is. He was a rich man before he ever become a Hollywood actor.
This was excellent Robert, thanks!
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Love this history deep dive!
Great article! There’s also the off menu Reverse Zombie at Sunken Harbor Club that is a boatload of Ango, yum!
I've had it! It's quite delicious.
The link at Amor y Amargo is now down . . . . I sense a global conspiracy!
Oh, and any mention of Amaro di Angostura, or will that expression melt away into history like the Wicked Witch of the West?
Perhaps they have sold out of all the bitters. I did not ask about the Amaro. I was primarily interested in the story behind the bitters.
Loved this article … it must be in every booze lovers house as well .. we’re in Australia
Just a quick note, re: the Caroni stock. While Angostura purchased quite a bit of the stock, The Main Rum Company and Luca Gargano also purchased significant amounts.
Thanks! Good to know. The story of Angostura rum is certainly a complicated one.
