In honour of our 200-year anniversary celebrated in 2024, we produced a Limited-Edition ultra-premium rum – CUSPARIA. An expression of heritage and innovation, CUSPARIA celebrates two centuries of rum-making excellence while looking boldly at the future. 

Crafted in small batches, only 1,824 bottles of CUSPARIA were produced—a deliberate nod to Angostura’s founding year – 1824. Each bottle is presented in a stunning, hand-cut crystal decanter with a matching stopper, elegantly encased in a bespoke gift box.  

CUSPARIA is more than a rum—it is an experience. This rare and luxurious blend of 21- to 24-year-old rums is matured further in a trio of exceptional casks: Madeira, Cognac, and Bourbon. The result is a spirit of remarkable depth and complexity that reflects two centuries of passion, precision, and Caribbean spirit. 

The name CUSPARIA was inspired by Galipea officinalis, a tree indigenous to Venezuela’s mountainous regions from which the rare Cusparia bark is derived. This botanical connection speaks to the origins of Angostura’s founder, Dr. Johann Siegert, who began perfecting his legendary aromatic bitters in Ciudad Bolívar—formerly known as Angostura—on the banks of the Orinoco River. 

That historic journey—from the rich terrain of Venezuela to the vibrant heart of Trinidad—mirrors the spirit of CUSPARIA. It’s a tribute to the legacy of the Siegert family and the deep cultural and geographical roots that shaped Angostura. 

From the very first pour, CUSPARIA captivates with its golden bronze brilliance and exceptional clarity. Layers of rich treacle, bittersweet citrus, and subtle cocoa set the stage for a refined taste. The palate unfolds in a series of elegant transitions—earthy, sweet stone fruits, followed by a graceful floral mid-note. The finish is long, warm, and memorable, with rustic undertones and a subtly cocoa-laced finale. 

This rare blend balances age and elegance, tradition and innovation—embodying the artistry that has defined Angostura® for two centuries. 

As we continue our pursuit of innovation, CUSPARIA stands as a timeless symbol of the journey, the legacy, and the mastery that define our brand.
