Local rum producer Angostura is continuing its focus on international expansion as it sees “great potential” in that area, says the company’s chief operating officer (COO) Ian Forbes.

In an interview with the Sunday Business Guardian following Angostura’s release of a special rum in tribute to Caricom’s 50th anniversary, Forbes shared insights into some of the company’s plans for expansion in the regional and global arena.

On the international front, he said, “That’s an important aspect of what we want to focus on so growing our rums internationally and expanding our reach internationally is our primary focus.”
