HOME TO TRINIDAD
"Venezuela was not as politically stable as Simon Bolivar was promised. There was internal strife and the dictator followed the dictator. After Dr. Siegert died in 1870, Carlos and Alfredo decided to leave and chose the nearby island of Trinidad as their country of adoption. In Trinidad, Carlos and Alfredo were joined by their youngest brother, Luis, and together they set up a business once again. Angostura®'s aromatic bitters made the brothers remarkably prosperous."

In 1903 Carlos Siegert died followed in two years by Luis, making Alfredo the sole owner of the secret formula for Angostura® aromatic bitters.

In 1904, Alfredo was appointed purveyor of Angostura® aromatic bitters to the King of Prussia and in 1907 to King Alfonso XIII of Spain. He went public with the company and named it Angostura Bitters (Dr. J.G.B. Siegert & Sons) Limited. Three years later the Company was appointed purveyor of Angostura® aromatic bitters to King George V.

Alfredo speculated in several business projects and lost, great sums of money, and the House of Angostura passed into the hands of its creditors.
