The Angostura 1787 is a molasses blend which is stored in oak barrels for at least 15 years. It should consist of pure premium vintages. The rum has 40% alcohol and it is probably also sugar attached. The mahogany-coloured rum comes in a chic bottle and packaging, however, has an atypical screw cap.

In the glass, the rum quickly releases intense barrel notes, which are easily and clearly perceptible even without holding the nose directly into the glass. It is clear that it is not a rum that hides. There are also sweet caramel and vanilla notes perceptible. While drinking first the vanilla becomes clear. With a good portion of sweetness. A fruity note follows. Canwed apples. Wood notes accompany the compositions. In the finish remains the fruity note with caramelized portion, which is captured by oak notes. The wood note remains quite present. The rum is quite complex, but almost overloaded with mamy notes that threaten to crush each other. A tightrope act for the rum and the connoisseur.

For approx. 65Euro it gives a complex process of aromas that harmonize well. He has a good body for 40%. I think it has succeeded but 3-5% more Alcohol would make it even greater. The 1787 is not for everyone but the logical evolution of the 1824. The Kill Devil Trinidad 10years shows that more abv and less sugar would help.

Der Angostura 1787 ist eine Melasse Blend welcher mindestens 15 Jahre in Eichenfässern gelagert wird. Er soll aus reinen Premium Jahrgängen bestehen. Der Rum hat 40% Alkohol und es ist wohl auch Zucker beigefügt. Der Mahagoni farbende Rum kommt in einer schicken Flasche und Verpackung hat jedoch einen untypischen Schraubverschluss.

Im Glas gibt der Rum schnell intensive Fassnoten frei, welche auch ohne die Nase direkt in das Glas zu halten, gut und deutlich wahrnehmbar sind. Es ist klar, das es kein Rum ist der sich versteckt. Es sind auch süße Karamel und Vanille Noten wahrnehmbar. Bein Trinken wird zuerst die Vanille deutlich. Mit einer guten Portion Süße. Es folgt eine fruchtige Note. Kandierte Äpfel. Holznoten begleiten die Kompositionen. Im Abgang bleibt die fruchtige Note mit karamelligen Anteil, welche durch Eichenholz Noten eingefangen wird. Die Holznote bleibt durchaus präsent. Der Rum ist durchaus Komplex, gleichzetig aber fast schon überladen mit vielen Noten welche drohen sich gegenseitig zu erdrücken. Ein Drahtseilakt für den Rum und den Genießer.

Für ca. 65Euro gibt er einen komplexen Ablauf von Aromen welche gut harmonieren. Er hat einen guten Körper für 40% ich denke 3-5% mehr Alkohol hätten ihm aber gut getan. Soweit aber gelungen aber sicherlich nicht für jeden und auch nicht für Einsteiger. Der Angostura 1787 ist die logische Weiterentwicklung des 1824. Der Kill Devil Trinidad 10years zeigt was mehr Alkohol und weniger Zucker möglich machen.

Really is just an average Rum. Joins my list of 7s and does not stand out from the crowd...

Nose: very smoky, similar to Angostura 1919
Palate: complex, but well balanced, smoky and fruity at the same time. Aromatic. Slightly better than the younger 1919.

Notes of butterscotch, molasses, candied plantains and vanilla. The first sip opens up to tastes of oak, toffee, banana and dried prunes. The only aroma that stays is the oak.

Kräftiger, herber Geschmack. Sehr angenehmer Abgang. Wenig Süsse.

I really don't get this! Doesn't taste like the reviews at all to me. It's like a combination of Reimonenq and Havana Club. I don't know what happened in the 15 years but it's only on the finish that I can detect oak.
The predominant smell and taste is something floral and citrus. Mostly it reminds me of Cuban rum but weird and slightly artificial like Reimonenq. If I try really hard I can get the oily notes.
As you can probably tell, I'm not impressed! With Caroni gone, is this all the Trinidadians can look forward to? Bless 'em.

J aime beaucoup ce type de rhum, il est doux, de couleur foncé, arôme et goût de chêne, au nez on sent le fruit sec et banane. Bien équilibré et finale longue.

I expected more from this. Not as smooth as it should be. But def has a premium taste to it.

A very different rum that definitely leaves you with two options - either you fall in love with the taste or you don't like it at all. I was one of the latter, I definitely think the 12-year-old is better

Quality product, complex, but the note is mine as this is less to my taste. Very cigar-y, almost overpowering, alcohol fiinish strong. A bit bold, if not harsh.

This is not for every rum drinker! I can't find a similar taste to compare to, not sure what it is but I definitely liked it. For me it seemed even more enjoyable with a small drop of ice in it. Great one, Angostura!
