The Trinidadian company most famous for producing Angostura Aromatic Bitters is in fact a much bigger producer of rum. When Dr. Sieger, inventor of the bitters, died in 1870, his sons took over the business and moved it from Venezuela to Trinidad in 1875. After the move they started buying bulk rum and blending to their own style; in the 1940s the company began to distil its own rum. Angostura now produces a large range of rums.
