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.

Bon rhum de dégustation mais il est dispendieux par rapport à d'autres bons rhums de dégustation beaucoup plus abordable.

Nowhere near the price point. Too spicy and harsh. Over-priced.

I think I've tried nearly all of the Angostura range and was expecting big things of their oldest rum. Nice boxed packaging , good looking bottle etc.
Poured a dark mahogany colour which was due to caramel colouring unfortunately and not barrel aging..
Sipped fine , quite sweet as now expected.. but no real rum flavours getting past the caramel like so many adulterated rums out there.
I might occasionally sip this or add an ice cube but im already thinking.. mixer !
Bit disappointing..

The name, age and colour elude to grandeur, but I've smelt more appealing glues and I'm not into my solvents as some might be. The taste is even worse. Even when mixed that chemical "Epoxy" taste perseveres.

Mit einem Angostura macht man generell nichts falsch. Dieser reiht sich nahtlos ein.

A tasty rum for sipping, I would rate it as average. Well worth a test.

Seriously, Angostura: IMPROVE! The fake vanilla (which is miles off from what you get from an oak cask naturally - more like bakers fake essence vanilla) is TERRIBLE. And the oak, where is it? 15 years in the tropics, no oak? Stop the excessive charcoal filtration. Rubbish.

First, it is a shame that Angostura changed the bottle type and replaced the cork with a valve and a regular cap. Just by presentation, this rums should score very low. Regarding the rum, it has a caramel and fruity smell, and almost no alcohol. In mouth you can taste prune, vanilla, caramel and the oak. You could say it is at the same level of sweetness as the El Dorado 12. Aftertaste is oaky.

I think it is best rum from angostura. Much taster than 1824
