Angostura bitters is considered by many as the essential drop for many cocktails. The product is known the world over but where it is used the most, is the big question. Also, despite where it is distributed to, the product seems to find itself in countries where distribution is not known. How is that you may ask? Well the answer may well be as secret as the product, but I suspect the suitcase trade has not died. What do you think?
