Angostura 1919 8-Year rum

Angostura 1919 8-Year

Trinidad and Tobago | Aged | 40% ABV

Angostura 1919 rum is produced in Trinidad by blending a combination of light and heavy molasses distilled rums. These rums spend at least 8 years aging in American oak bourbon barrels.

The name Angostura "1919" refers to the event in 1932 when Angostura's distillery was destroyed by fire. Miraculously, a handful of barrels filled with rum from 1919 survived and were purchased by J.B. Fernandes - the master blender of Fernandes Distillers.

I thought this would’ve be a good Caribbean rum. Maybe my palate but I struggle to compare it to any other rum. I decided to drown it with coke. This is my first negative review. But this rum is not for me.

I was given this rum as a gift and the bottle is very beautiful.

The taste however is way to heavy on vanilly making it almost nauseatingly to drink straight up.

It might do better in a dark n' stormy, but as a rum to drink straight up it's just not that good.

Very thin mouthfeel without enough flavors to make up for it. Maybe usable as a mixer, but ultimately very forgettable. A disappointment.

This is a little rough around the edges to drink by itself. Better when adding a splash of Coke Zero. Nice aroma with notes of vanilla with a simple and uncomplicated flavor.

En total flopp. Första intrycket är fint med härliga dofter men när romen väl inmundigas känns den blaskig och i förhållande till doften väldigt smakfattig.

A friend bough this for me when visiting him in Austria, because he knew I was into rum. He paid 30+ euros for it, at a local minimarket. The smell invites you to taste it, only to fell the strong taste of alcohol, which takes away it's flavor. Definitely not a sipper for me. And surely will not buy again.

I don't drink many light or golden rums but I have tried enough to know this is far from a good example.

Nose: Stale?
Taste: Lots of sugar, vanilla.
Body: All in the front with that sugar. After-taste is a little bitter.

Very expensive (44 Canadian) for a sub-par product (in my opinion)

I got almost nothing on the nose, maybe some alcohol and fruits. On the palate it gives some nasty burn and vodka-like taste and it last quite long time. Alcohol covers the little tastes it has of coconut, oak and honey maybe? Not my sipping rum at all and maybe too expensive for mixing?
