Angostura 1919 8-Year

This rum is an excellent multi-purpose aged rum with a light but complex taste profile. Provides a delicate and just-sweet-enough taste for sipping but also makes an excellent dry mojito. No heavy afterburn when taken neat or on the rocks, where it is excellent with a squeeze of key lime. The price is moderate considering the quality. This is the only rum I've found that approaches some of the qualities of the now-discontinued-in-the-USA Oronoco (a cane rum), which was my go-to rum for several years until the distributor pulled it in this country. Though 1919 is created from fermented molasses, it avoids the heavy, cloying molasses tastes of most dark rums as well as the napthalene qualities of most white rums. Plus the bottle is beautiful on a shelf!

Bourbon drinker. The slightly sweet aroma with the molasses backdrop... is very nice. The oak comes through. I like it!!!

The taste, the aftertaste. The aroma. The texture. Best rum found so far.

Ein absolutes MUSS im RUM-Keller! Für den Preis bekommt meinen tollen Rum zum puren Genuss oder gern auch als Longdrink zu genießen.

Perfect mixing & sipping rum. It’s very smooth, sweet and leaves a really pleasing & lingering aftertaste. 👍

For some reason this is my favorite rum. It has great taste, minimal aftertaste, and great body. Great straight from the bottle.

Nez très vanillé, a tomber!
En bouche, subtile et agréable!

Le meilleur ti' punch de ma vie à été fait avec ce rhum!

Très bon rhum!

J ai été surpris au gout et arome parfumé. Il est doux et léger. Gout de caramel et crème. Je me cherche déjà une deuxième bouteille a acheter.

Hat mich überrascht nur acht jahre und so elegant.
Vanille und karamell : ) Schöner karibik rum, schmeckt nach urlaub.

This rum captures the essence of what rum ought to be - an island spirit. The nose calls to mind the best the islands have to offer, and the taste delivers on that promise. The finish is pure pleasure. Those Trinidadians are doing something very right, and at a fantastic price to boot!
