A Bit of Trinidad & Tobago in Lawrenceburg

A Caribbean rum maker hoping to grow its U.S. business could add a couple hundred jobs to a Lawrenceburg distillery that had been shutting down, according to a report in the Indianapolis Business Journal. Angostura plans to add marketing, logistics and packaging operations to a former Seagram Co. distillery it bought earlier this year from Pernod Ricard. The company, based in Trinidad and Tobago, also will add a North American headquarters to the 160-year-old distillery. CL Financial is the parent company of Angostura Limited, which operates distilleries in Scotland and France and controls the rum market in Trinidad and Tobago. The Lawrenceburg distillery was built in 1847.
