An archetypical expression of the style of rums produced by Angostura in Trinidad, the Single Barrel Reserve limited edition rum is hand-drawn and aged in a single select Bourbon oak cask for a minimum of 5 years.
Angostura blends medium and heavy aged rums from their state-of-the-art five column still to create this exclusive blend, available only in Trinidad. A limited number of batches of this deep mahogany colored rum are produced each year for premium rum enthusiasts.
On the nose, Single Barrel leads with light wooden notes and creamy vanilla, leading to hints of chocolate, molasses, macchiato and baking spices. The palate begins with warm honey, dried tropical fruits, toffee and caramel, leading to chocolate, roasted almond and coffee flavors. The long warm finish suggests a fine maturation process.
This stuff is delicious. Friend from Trinidad brought me a bottle (can't buy here in Miami) and I have to say I am very impressed. We sipped this neat all night. It is a smooth rum with very nice toffee and caramel forward flavors. Which are my favorite. There is some fried fruit flavors to go along with it, and a very subtle hint of cocoa on the long after taste. Nothing about it makes it 'pop' as super special for a 9 or 10 rating, but this rum is just solid all the way around. One of my favorites for sure.
This rum has a very rich colour, smooth and aromatic taste without the afterburn. Even ladies who are not rum drinkers say this one is different... they love it with a chaser like coca cola. I love it with fresh coconut water. Ahhhh...
