This July, London played host to one of the UK’s most anticipated spirits events: The Rum Show, organised by The Whisky Exchange at Glaziers Hall. Bringing together distillers, collectors, bartenders, and rum lovers, the show is a highlight of the drinks calendar. For CVH Spirits, it was the perfect stage to showcase the exceptional quality and innovation of Angostura Rum, the only rum distilled on the twin-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago.
While Angostura is world-renowned for its bitters, the spotlight in London was firmly on its premium Caribbean rum range. From heritage expressions to innovative limited releases, Angostura captured the imagination of both newcomers and seasoned connoisseurs.
Over two days, guests discovered the depth and diversity of the Angostura portfolio, with several moments standing out:
• Exclusive packaging preview – a bold, sustainable new design set to launch in the UK.
• 200 Year Bitters unveiling – a limited-edition release celebrating a milestone in Angostura’s legacy.
• Zenith tasting – a rare Caroni–Angostura blend presented as a dream dram for serious collectors.
The programme also included an engaging Angostura masterclass, co-hosted by UK Brand Ambassador Samuel Shekleton and Georgi Radev of Laki Kane. Their expertise and storytelling brought the history and craftsmanship of Angostura to life, highlighting why the brand continues to set new standards in rum making.
With refreshed packaging, ambitious new releases, and growing visibility at major industry events, Angostura Rum is positioned to make a lasting impact in the UK premium rum market.
