http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angostura_bitters
Angostura bitters, often simply referred to as angostura, is a concentrated
bitters for food and beverages made of herbs and spices by House of Angostura
in the country of Trinidad and Tobago. Despite having an alcohol content of
44.7% angostura is not classed as an alcoholic beverage in the U.K. in line
with laws on other bitters. The distinctive bottle is easily recognisable due
to its oversized label.
