Angostura 1824 12-Year

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...

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

Ve vůni cítím nějaké ovoce, nejspíše citrusy a banán. V chuti nejprve přichází sladkost ovoce, které pomalu přechází do chemické chuti ředidla. Přitom je to velmi lehký dobře pitelný rum. Zatím jsem měl jen vzorek díky české rumové komunitě, ale celou láhev mohu každému doporučit a i u mne časem najde svoje místo.

Not a bad rum that I think is better than his older brother 15 years old. It is softer and the aromas of vanilla and chocolate are felt more clearly, there are hints of citrus.

unfortunately is english sweetened style ... we use angostura bitters, amaro di angostura but the rum ... heard that new ones are not sweetened must buy and check

Egész kellemes kis rum, ajánlom mindenkinek aki szereti a jó rumokat.

Ordered this one again. In my mind it was a darker tasting rum with hints of coffee, caramel and hazel.

The reality from the current bottle however is little to no scent. The thickness is nice and smooth in your mouth. But no real stand out tones in the taste and slightly sour aftertaste.

Could be that I am getting a cold which is affecting my taste so I’d try again soon.

Sweet and spicy with dark chocolate, licorish, bayleaf and a distinct taste of cough syrup. Not really enjoyable to be honest.

Pleasant softness in taste, dry fruits, leather, creamy chocolate. Incredible pleasure.

I really like my Angosturas just I like Cihuatans (but if any I prefer the latter from Salvador as it seem more "cultivated" and generally rounder taste in spite of more % of alcohol). Though it's really not easy to differ the "neighboring" types from each other, I generally like their typical characteristics - rounded taste, sweet cherry & honey tones and little bittery finish. Overall I've had better but I can't imagine anyone to dislike this rum so combined with cool packing and decent price for younger models makes an ideal present to occassional sippers among the relatives.
UPDATE: though it depends what I am eating or drinking with as I don't like to sip my rums alone, I must raise +1 point as liking it more and more, especially with sweet teas or sweet snacks. This rum is in my opinion getting more and more awesome and I did like it from the first sip, unlike its older brother/cask. That may be eventually updated as well after I buy another one :) as relatively new to rums and still "settling" my taste. Though I am still having hard time to distinguish some top-tier old Angosturas from each other, they are so easily dist. from other brands, simply for being so above average and full of sweet-cherry-fruity tones and awesome finish. (People are freq. mentioning tobacco smell and taste here which I can not judge as practically non smoker.)
