ANGOSTURA chairman Gary Hunt remained mum on the rum and bitters maker’s response to the launch of Caroni Bitters by former Angostura executive Vidia Doodnath, he said he was not surprised by the launch of the product.

Hunt spoke to reporters at a media conference at the House of Angostura on the Eastern Main Road, Port of Spain, where the company sent its first shipment of its Ready to Drink product 420, where he said the matter was receiving the company’s fullest attention.

“I am not going to make any judgements or pronounce. It is receiving our attention and we are responding appropriately. To give conjecture to it now – let’s have all the facts before us and we will be able to give a proper response.”
