Angostura 1824 12-Year

I enjoyed this rum although I generally like rums to be a bit more sweet. For the difference in cost, I still prefer the Diplomatico Reserva but this is a nice change of pace from my normal selections.

Angostura 1824 presents itself as a distinguished member of the aged rum category, hailing from the sun-kissed shores of Trinidad. This 12-year-old rum embodies a harmonious blend of complexity and smoothness, a testament to its careful crafting and aging process. On the palate, Angostura 1824 offers a nuanced spectrum of flavors, from subtle hints of oak and vanilla to richer undertones of toffee and cocoa, reflecting the diverse character of its tropical heritage. Its finish is both elegant and refined, leaving a warm, lingering sensation that invites contemplation and appreciation. While it may not outshine all competitors in its category, Angostura 1824 stands proud with its own unique profile, offering a sip of Trinidadian tradition that is both rewarding and accessible. For rum aficionados in pursuit of a spirit that combines tradition with a touch of sophistication, Angostura 1824 is a commendable choice.

I used to drink 1919 and I moved this one for sipping as I find 1919 a bit on the harsh side. So now I mix with 1919 and have 1824 neat. I enjoy mostly around Christmas season when all those smells and notes of the festive season (like that of the Christmas fruit cake) are in vogue.

I’m told the Oak cask this is aged in are old Scotch barrels, and there’s a hint of peat in the finish. An excellent, smooth and moderately complex Rum, a solid keeper

Ganske udemærket rom, ville nok vurderer den til 7,7 ish

Smooth, nice finish, nice aroma as well. Had it with a Liga Privada No.9 cigar, really nice pairing!

Tasted at Laka Lono on 8/28/22, #4 of 5 of my Angostura flight on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. Totally recommend tasting these as a flight.
Aroma: mandarin orange and toffee
Taste: strong and delicious
5/5 bottles on my passport converts to 9/10 bottles here

Взех го за 50€ , добра сделка за 12 ром. Страхотен на мирис и вкус. Не смесвайте, а пийте чисто!

Too much wood and too much spices for me. Oak feels very strong, some honey and spices. Not one of the smoothest rums.
