Angostura White Reserva

I can't recall such amount of aroma meeting my nose, and yet this is thin white to please. Taste is very balanced and rich. Bottling bit different, no butterfly.

Nicely priced with a good taste. Hints of citrus, oak and nut but with some burn and the flavors are not very complex due to the age of this rum. Makes a nice mixer...

This review is for the old bottling pictured here. I must say for a white rum this has some character and is easily sipped. It really goes down well and has some mild complexity though the finish is rather short lived.

Nose: A bit of new oak, reminiscent of young fruit brandies. No great bouquet to mention in that it is anonymous, there is a slight hint of coconut shell and mint.

Palate: Accentuated coconut, grassy hint of cane a bit unusual to molasses rum, some mint. There is also a subdued, funky note of fruity esters revealing that this is not made by purists of the Spanish style, but there is just a pleasant hint of it that will not offend anyone. Warm, slightly oily mouthfeel; dry, maybe a gram or two with added sugar per liter I'd suspect.

Aftertaste: No great aftertaste, a bit oak and grass turned slightly chemical, but not unpleasant.

Overall a very nice mixer that should not scare away anyone whilst also providing a bit of character. Great for mojitos, daquiris, communal punch bowls or any highball/simple drink calling for unspecified white rum. This is hardly a sipper, my rating is certainly based on a consideration of the low price as well as quality. But if you want to try a charcoal filtered, aged rum, this is a way better option than Diplomatico Planas in my opinion, and the latter cost twice as much.

Color : Clear
Flavour : Light citrus note with some apple hint.
Palate : Light, clean and short

A good white rum to blend in cocktail such as Honey combs Mojito & Daiquiri.

Not a bad choice for your bar for its price. It does it job as good mixer tho i would not recommend to drink on its own.

Was a while back i tried this but dont remember it being anything special...

Fin rom som jeg kan anbefales at prøve.. drikkes mest is eller rent.

This is a more flavorful version of Bacardi silver.

This is a strange rum, because I don't think I'd hand out a 6 to anything that wasn't at least passable for sipping. This one, however, is too astringent for my tastes for sipping, yet it's pretty decent in a Daiquiri or Mojito. The bonus is, it's cheaper than what I was using before, but I never really used my previous one for sipping anyway, so it's fine by me to use this one.
