Amaro from Angostura





Amaro di Angostura...$21.99 / 750ml
A product inspired by Don Carlos Siegert, the bon vivant son of Angostura’s Founder J.G.B. Siegert. Don Carlos placed Angostura® Aromatic Bitters on the world stage in the 1880’s.
It is his fun-loving spirit of adventure that continues to inspire the House of Angostura today.
As expected from a winning rum-maker with more than 60 global awards, the House of Angostura is always innovating. Amaro di Angostura® has been made with the amaro lover in mind.  The House of Angostura rum and bitters manufacturing techniques are legendary. Impossible to replicate, Amaro di Angostura® is derived from the bespoke process used in creating the House of Angostura’s iconic aromatic bitters. The recipe for Angostura® aromatic bitters remains a secret. As will the recipe for Amaro di Angostura®.


Bottled at 35%, Amaro di Angostura® is a deep amber colour, offering aromas of cinnamon, dark chocolate and unmistakeable Angostura® aromatic bitters. The flavours explode on the tongue with warm cinnamon and licorice notes. The finish is perfectly balanced, exotic, lush and reminiscent of the essence of Trinidad and Tobago’s pulsating rhythms, tropical climate and beauty.

Amaro di Angostura® can be enjoyed over ice, is splendid on its own and offers delicious harmony in a cocktail.

BLENDING is an art that the House of Angostura has mastered during its 190 year history in producing the finest award winning bitters and rums. Angostura’s blenders are experts who have developed closely guarded recipes. They are passionate about innovation — always working toward better techniques. Amaro di Angostura® is their latest achievement — it is truly one-of-a-kind, with a signature approach — unmistakeably from the House of Angostura.

The blenders combined Angostura® aromatic bitters with some neutral spirit and added more spices…until a magnificent herbal liqueur was created – the spirit, spices and bitter herbs were mixed and then left to marry for 3 months. It is the patience and skill of the blenders that makes this herbal liqueur – exotic, fun and seductive.
