Angostura 1919 8-Year

För stark spritsmak och en touch av whisky. Blir dock mildare efter en stund i glaset, vilket gynnar den då karamell och vaniljsmaken kommer fram.

Couleur doré
Nez vanillé et un peu boisé
Bouche doux au démarrage la vanille est la discrètement avec sensation d'épice
Final long sec et fumé

Very nice from start to finish. Nice on the nose and no burn on the finish. Easy sipping rum...

Good It's a good sipping rum... There are hints of oak, and vanilla. I truly enjoy it, please try

Bourbon drinker. The slightly sweet aroma with the molasses backdrop... is very nice. The oak comes through. I like it!!!

Great okay vanilla notes. Good for sipping but better in an old fashioned

Good rum is surprisingly hard to find in the UK outside of airports and mail order deliveries. As such I was pleased to find that Sainsburys stocked this rum in their stores. That remains its greatest redeeming feature! It's not a bad rum, and I sipped my way through the bottle, but it is remarkedly average. I accept that rum is a very personal thing and that tastes differ, but I am very much surprised by how well this rum fairs in the reviews. There's certainly much better out there

A little too strong of alcohol smell and too much after burn for me. There are a lot of rums that are better and a lot cheaper. Good but not worth the price.

This rum is an excellent multi-purpose aged rum with a light but complex taste profile. Provides a delicate and just-sweet-enough taste for sipping but also makes an excellent dry mojito. No heavy afterburn when taken neat or on the rocks, where it is excellent with a squeeze of key lime. The price is moderate considering the quality. This is the only rum I've found that approaches some of the qualities of the now-discontinued-in-the-USA Oronoco (a cane rum), which was my go-to rum for several years until the distributor pulled it in this country. Though 1919 is created from fermented molasses, it avoids the heavy, cloying molasses tastes of most dark rums as well as the napthalene qualities of most white rums. Plus the bottle is beautiful on a shelf!

This is different from all the other rums I've had. A very distinct woody taste, oak I guess. Am enjoying on the rock watching the sun set in sw Tex. Will keep a bottle stocked.
