The Trinidad Distillers Limited (TDL) facility is home to the extensive
Angostura and Fernandes range of Rums,
Angostura Aromatic Bitters, and
Amaro di Angostura.
The multi-column, continuous distillation facility was commissioned by Angostura Limited in the late 1940s, with the distillery initially providing the
Rum used in the production of the
Aromatic Bitters, which at the time was the sole output of the company.
The ability to produce more Rum than the company needed, allowed the creation of several own-brand labels. In
1973, the company acquired the
Fernandes Distillers Limited Rum company to become the sole producer in Trinidad after the Caroni Distillery closed in 2003.
TDL exclusively use sugarcane molasses as the source for their fermentation and cultivate their own yeast strain which adds a distinctive flavor note to the Rums.
The facility also produces a large amount of
bulk Rum for other brands around the world.
