Angostura 1919 8-Year

too simple for sipping, but very nice in drinks, perfect for rum&cola

Ganske udemærket rom, ville nok vurderer den til 7,2 ish

Still one of the best noses I've had on a rum, just a rush of rich vanilla spice, with hints of honey, tobacco, and oak. Unfortunately a bit one-note on the palate, just lots of sweet vanilla. Definitely very smooth, but not as complex in the imbibing as the smell would imply.

Good but lacking something…. Not as smooth as hoped for.

If I had rated the rum at the first half, I probably would have given 6, but at the end of the bottle, I'd rather give it a 7. First sips are very good, then its maybe a little too dry for me, although it's still good.

This rum is a rollercoaster of flavor, that includes an intriguing herbal flavor and ends with a strong essence of vanilla.

Light pleasant citrus-floral aroma and taste. Rounded, harmonious, light. If we compare it with the time of the year, it's spring and a fresh sunny day. Lovely

Better in my memories, but pleasant, not so sweet. Nothing exceptional .

It's a lovely rum. Starting backwards the finish is amazing and reminds me of high proof bourbon. An amazing delicate back of the throat tingle and hints of cocoa powder and raw sugar. The nose has something like candied raisins. There's a lovely light caramel note. Just overall a pleasant rum. At the price use it to make cocktails amazing or sip it neat. Might start keeping this around for nightcaps.

A rather strongish and aggressive taste for my liking, and did not get the cocoa, vanilla and coconut bouquet promised on the label. Would prefer this one half and half with a cola or juice.
