Angostura has advised that effective tomorrow, October 17th, 2025, there will be price adjustments to its 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.

The company said, “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 said it remains deeply committed to maintaining the world-class quality of its rums and bitters, supporting the local economy and supply chain, and promoting Trinidad and Tobago’s brands in over 170 international markets.
