Effective October 17, there will be price adjustments to our locally manufactured rums. This follows the Government’s recently announced increase in excise duty on rum and spirits, which took immediate effect as part of the 2025/2026 National Budget.

As a responsible corporate citizen with more than 200 years of heritage in Trinidad and Tobago, Angostura® fully supports the Government’s efforts to strengthen fiscal sustainability and national development.

Over the past several years, Angostura® has absorbed increases in input costs through improved productivity, energy efficiency and innovation to minimise any impact on our consumers. However, this recent increase in excise duty now requires price adjustments to ensure business continuity and the continued employment of our workforce of over 537 citizens.

Angostura® remains deeply committed to:
•        Maintaining the world-class quality of our rums and bitters,
•        Supporting our local economy and supply chain, and
•        Promoting Trinidad and Tobago’s brands in over 170 international markets.

We express our sincere appreciation to our loyal customers, trade partners, and stakeholders for their continued trust and understanding. Angostura® will continue to operate with transparency and care, ensuring that our decisions reflect both national interest and consumer value.
