Angostura bitters, developed in 1824 by Johann Gottlieb Benjamin Siegert, a
German doctor, was created in the Venezuelan city of Angostura, now known as
Ciudad Bolivar. Siegert set up a hospital on the orders of Simon Bolivar, the
South American freedom fighter, and initially developed the tonic as a treatment
for tropical diseases.Over time, however, it gained popularity as a condiment
and is now a key ingredient in the preparation of classic cocktails.

slightly sweet notes.
