Their Orange bitters are very nice.

Orange bitters are easy to find and made by others. And thankfully a bottle of any bitters, for the normal home drinkmaster, lasts a long, long time.
But...
that Martini recipe...:rage: powdered sugar rim? :eusa_doh: THAT's ridiculously wrong...scary...oops, just threw up a little in my mouth! What were they thinking? A typo, or was the author on crack? [huh]

As the original article clearly states, what sounds like a venture capital firm bought House of Angostura from Bacardi and used its profits and cache to leverage loans to make other acquistitions that went bad. And due to their mismanagement...they had to cry to the government of Trinidad and Tobago for a financial bail-out to keep the whole ball of wax from going under.

My bottle gets a LOT of use in Manhattans, and I have had the same bottle for about 11 years... so I doubt it will be a problem before they get back on track with production.
Hard on the bars though.
And did you know.. they cure hiccups? 2 dashes Angostura on a wedge of lime, squeeze that down your throat and voila - no more hiccups!

A few years ago, I stumbled across a sealed, full, never-opened, 1-liter bottle of French "Bitter Secrestat" at a Chilean flea market. The label indicated that the bottle was from 1910-1925 or so.
I bought it, decanted it, and sold the empty bottle online. The bitters inside --which I've kept-- is delicious and perfectly drinkable. One liter is a lot, so I'm still enjoying it. Here's a photo of my decanted bottle:

Seems to be the shortage s hitting the UK. None at Gerry's or The Whisky Exchange.
