Angostura 1824 12-Year

Too much wood and too much spices for me. Oak feels very strong, some honey and spices. Not one of the smoothest rums.

Nice nose with caramel but a bit too much wood. Good colour on the pour. Didn’t like the taste and a bit too much burn for my liking. Too much oak, tobacco and burnt tastes for my liking.

Prefer 1919 to 1824 as prefer a slightly sweeter tasting rum

Like Botucal is the true masterpiece of spanish style Angostura is the masterpiece of English style!!! Incredible rum: complex, smooth, oily!!! With fantastic aftertaste of raisins and dried fruits!!!

A golden spicy rum.
You get apricots and some floral notes on the nose.
As you taste a deep earthy aromatic note, I would dare to say spicy. A little bit of sweetness just to remind you it is a rum.
Different from anything I have tasted. You even get some grassy herbal notes.
Defenetly a sipper.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 11/28/18. Pours brown in color. Candy. Great nutty and boozy flavor. Harsh finish as with all Angostura products. Leaves legs in the glass. Overall yummy.

A trecut ceva timp de cand am terminat sticla ))) dar in niciun caz nu l am uitat ) desi corect ar fi fost sa descriu in timp ce il degust cum fac de obicei.

Un rom gustos, piele, lemn,zahar brun, ceva fructat in fundal, si .. cacao, cacao , cacao ..
practic ma duce cu gandul la un dictador 12 din punct de vedere al dezechilibrului in arome dar in care aroma predominanta e cacaoa nu cafeaua, sau la zacapa 23 cu mult , mult mai putin zahar, as prefera pe acesta oricand in locul lui zacapa 23 chiar daca zacapa e mai stratificat si pare mai complex...

It's been a while since I finished the bottle))) but I have by no means forgotten it) although it would have been correct to describe it while tasting it as I usually do.

A tasty rum, leather, wood, brown sugar, something fruity in the background, and .. cocoa, cocoa, cocoa ..
basically it makes me think of a Dictator 12 from the point of view of the imbalance in aromas but in which the predominant aroma is cocoa not coffee, or Zacapa 23 with much, much less sugar, I would prefer this one instead of Zacapa 23 even if zacapa is more layered and seems more complex...

Had this at a rum dinner at Esotico, and was not prepared for how this was going to taste. I’d had 1919 several times previously, and consider it a good value for the style and profile.

The funk on this rivals Jamaican rums, not so much competitively, but comparatively and totally complementary to them. It is a very different hogo, reminiscent of a whole other set of tropical fruits usually present in Jamaican rums (Chiefly, bananas). This is more on the guava and soursop side, a little bit of creaminess from the mamey and a touch of maracuya. The nose matches the palate - powerful, but not overwhelming.

The price point here in the US is a little higher than it should be, but this is a serious and seriously delicious rum.

Its a good rum for cane rum. Definitely a whiskey drinkers rum nice vanilla caramel tobacco notes the surprise is the grapefruit Finnish.

Very good Qpr rum, very balanced, alcohol is not grumpy and aromas are perfectly integrated. 7.5 pts now.
