When I try a new bottle of Angostura, I'm always a bit exited, cause I feel there's big variety in taste among there labels. The 1787 is no different, with a unique profile in the range.
The nose surprises me, and the first thing that comes to my mind is Caroni. It has full, sweet notes of butterscotch, candied, baked banana and vanilla, but also an unmistakable note of that deep, tarry and oaky petroleum. The composition is very inviting and mouth watering. In the mouth the rum feels balanced and opens sweet with toffee, banana and dried prunes, going into oaky and slightly petroleum like caroni notes, but not in a overpowering way. Overall it's a sweet rum, that could perhaps have been more exiting with less sugar and slightly more %alc., but that's probably mood dependent, and I still enjoy this one quite a bit actually (8,5).

Angostura is broad in the way that they produce its Rums, with big viarity you can find round and smoth products and some more dry oaky. This is long fiinish with some oak in it.

I don’t think that I have tested a rum with a taste comparable with this one before. I’m not sure what it is, maybe grapefruit or citrus. Anyway the Angostura has made it again. The 1787 is on their No 1 level.
I have now also tested the new No 1 (Ed3) and I must say it’s not coming up to the same level as the earlier No 1’s and the 1787.

My first ever Angostura and also first Brugal. Min 15yo vs up to 14. Both are smooth and easy to drink. Both are in perfect balance between dry and sweet.
Angostura is the good big surprise: very exotic fruits, flowers notes (and Angostura bitter? :)
Brugal has classic taste, a bit spicy or even salty.
100$ vs 50$. Angostura worth it's money.
Scored 9 vs 7

This was a new experience. The first thought, when putting the glass under my nose, was pitch pine. Then some dried fruit and oak. Taste is a bit strong, smokey and spicey, but smoother in the aftertaste, and it lasts for a long time.

Riche et subtil avec des arômes de mélasse et de vanille. Rond et onctueux sur des saveurs de miel, de fruits et de chocolat avec une finale longue et suave avec de belles notes de fruits.

I do like this one. Especially since the fruit hit me very unexpected on the first sip.
But it is not the most complex flavour profile and it is a little too sweet. Still a really good rum.

Angostura 1787 - a good Trinidad Blend
8
/10
out of 10
The Angostura 1787 is a molasses blend which is stored in oak barrels for at least 15 years. It should consist of pure premium vintages. The rum has 40% alcohol and it is probably also sugar attached. The mahogany-coloured rum comes in a chic bottle and packaging, however, has an atypical screw cap.
In the glass, the rum quickly releases intense barrel notes, which are easily and clearly perceptible even without holding the nose directly into the glass. It is clear that it is not a rum that hides. There are also sweet caramel and vanilla notes perceptible. While drinking first the vanilla becomes clear. With a good portion of sweetness. A fruity note follows. Canwed apples. Wood notes accompany the compositions. In the finish remains the fruity note with caramelized portion, which is captured by oak notes. The wood note remains quite present. The rum is quite complex, but almost overloaded with mamy notes that threaten to crush each other. A tightrope act for the rum and the connoisseur.
For approx. 65Euro it gives a complex process of aromas that harmonize well. He has a good body for 40%. I think it has succeeded but 3-5% more Alcohol would make it even greater. The 1787 is not for everyone but the logical evolution of the 1824. The Kill Devil Trinidad 10years shows that more abv and less sugar would help.
Der Angostura 1787 ist eine Melasse Blend welcher mindestens 15 Jahre in Eichenfässern gelagert wird. Er soll aus reinen Premium Jahrgängen bestehen. Der Rum hat 40% Alkohol und es ist wohl auch Zucker beigefügt. Der Mahagoni farbende Rum kommt in einer schicken Flasche und Verpackung hat jedoch einen untypischen Schraubverschluss.
Im Glas gibt der Rum schnell intensive Fassnoten frei, welche auch ohne die Nase direkt in das Glas zu halten, gut und deutlich wahrnehmbar sind. Es ist klar, das es kein Rum ist der sich versteckt. Es sind auch süße Karamel und Vanille Noten wahrnehmbar. Bein Trinken wird zuerst die Vanille deutlich. Mit einer guten Portion Süße. Es folgt eine fruchtige Note. Kandierte Äpfel. Holznoten begleiten die Kompositionen. Im Abgang bleibt die fruchtige Note mit karamelligen Anteil, welche durch Eichenholz Noten eingefangen wird. Die Holznote bleibt durchaus präsent. Der Rum ist durchaus Komplex, gleichzetig aber fast schon überladen mit vielen Noten welche drohen sich gegenseitig zu erdrücken. Ein Drahtseilakt für den Rum und den Genießer.
Für ca. 65Euro gibt er einen komplexen Ablauf von Aromen welche gut harmonieren. Er hat einen guten Körper für 40% ich denke 3-5% mehr Alkohol hätten ihm aber gut getan. Soweit aber gelungen aber sicherlich nicht für jeden und auch nicht für Einsteiger. Der Angostura 1787 ist die logische Weiterentwicklung des 1824. Der Kill Devil Trinidad 10years zeigt was mehr Alkohol und weniger Zucker möglich machen.
