Angostura 1919 8-Year rum

Angostura 1919 8-Year

Trinidad and Tobago | Aged | 40% ABV

Angostura 1919 rum is produced in Trinidad by blending a combination of light and heavy molasses distilled rums. These rums spend at least 8 years aging in American oak bourbon barrels.

The name Angostura "1919" refers to the event in 1932 when Angostura's distillery was destroyed by fire. Miraculously, a handful of barrels filled with rum from 1919 survived and were purchased by J.B. Fernandes - the master blender of Fernandes Distillers.

Caramel colour.Medium body. Very strong Vanilla aroma, quite pleasant smooth taste, a perfect introduction for the world of aged rums. A quite nice bottle

One of the first aged rums I tasted as a lot of people. I still appreciate it. Of course it is certainly altered (at least with a bit of sugar...) but it does not taste as fake as plenty of other excessively sweetened (and expensive) """ premium""" rums on the market. Sweet but not sickly sweet. Not very complex but quite balanced while still a lot of flavours to enjoy. All in all, a good rum in this price range.

Un des premiers vieux rhum que j'ai goûté, un peu comme tout le monde. Ça reste un rhum industriel avec sa dose -raisonnable- de sucre et surement d'autres choses mais il ne fait pas complètement trafiqué comme beaucoup de ces rhums """premiums""" qui inondent le marché. Le sucre ne couvre pas tous les arômes et il y a encore plein de choses à sentir dedans. Je l'apprécie toujours, c'est un petit rhum très sympa à prix raisonnable, parfait pour découvrir.

I prefer 1919 on the rocks as it helps tame the alcohol bite and really opens up tis rum.

This rum is rather special considering the price and availability, top quality flavour for drinking straight, slightly drier than the HC7, with a slightly edge of cocoa, bitter caramel and oak. Tastes so smooth mixed with pepsi, revealing toffee, caramel, coconut, cocoa and oak flavours. Interestingly this is one rum that goes a little Jekyll and Hyde when mixed with Coke Cola, it tastes like strong tannic wood/saw dust and highly bitter.

Highly recommended premium rum, just consider how you use it carefully.

Quite pleasant aromatic and easy drinking rum. For beginners and everyone.

Aromatic nose of vanila, fudge, and sweet spices
Quite easy drinking, round, smooth dominated by vanila and caramel flavors

Well made

Sweet rum with caramel and vanilla taste, not surprising but quite good anyway. Easy to drink

For my taste this is a perfect rum to have in a cocktail, on the rocks or whit garnish. This is simply a good rum to have as an all-purpose rum, but not the best one to drink neat.

Nice neutral rum. Easy to drink. Not a strong taste. Curious about the 1824 now.

For some reason this is my favorite rum. It has great taste, minimal aftertaste, and great body. Great straight from the bottle.

C'est un rhum intéressant. Je dirais que c'est un 1824 moins puissant sur l'odeur et le gout, un peu plus timide... avec un final moins long, mais ça reste un bon rhum.
it's an interesting rum. I would say that it is a less powerful 1824 on the smell and taste, shyer with a shorter finish, but it's still a good rum.
