The Dis­cov­ery Chan­nel has tar­get­ed T&T rum man­u­fac­tur­ers, An­gos­tu­ra, to be fea­tured in it's pop­u­lar tele­vi­sion se­ries How Do They Do It. The half hour long se­ries which fo­cus­es on the sci­ence that goes in­to mak­ing mod­ern every­day ob­jects, will fo­cus on two projects in T&T, the rum mak­ing process at An­gos­tu­ra and the nat­ur­al as­phalt at the Pitch Lake in La Brea.The crew spoke to re­porters af­ter wrap­ping up film­ing yes­ter­day at An­gos­tu­ra's com­pound in Laven­tille.

Pro­duc­er for the se­ries, Em­ma Mar­tins told re­porters that she felt T&T was the ob­vi­ous choice for a doc­u­men­tary on the rum-mak­ing process as An­gos­tu­ra struck her as one of the best rum mak­ers.

She ex­pressed in­ter­est in film­ing the process of mak­ing bit­ters but said the se­cre­cy be­hind the in­gre­di­ents in bit­ters made film­ing tricky. Cor­po­rate Com­mu­ni­ca­tions Man­ag­er, Giselle La Ronde-West said they were very ex­cit­ed when they re­ceived the call from Dis­cov­ery Chan­nel, say­ing that they want­ed to do the doc­u­men­tary. "Out of all the rums all over the world, for them to choose An­gos­tu­ra rum was a great thing for us," said La Ronde-West. The se­ries, which pro­vides a learn­ing ex­pe­ri­ence for view­ers, is ex­pect­ed to be shown on the Dis­cov­ery Chan­nel in Au­gust.
