Angostura 5-Year

Nose, sniffing the bottle first: Sweet Shellac, lacquer, cobblers glue, citrus, brown sugar, some smoke.
Nose: lacquer with citrus and brown sugar, honey, heather, my late grandfather's leather workshop! sweet residue of molasses honey.
Tongue: Pineapple, Mandarin, delicate hint of molasses, younger alchohol bites but rather smooth and pleasant sweet sour complexity builds up towards nice bitterness at the finish. surprising fading into ripe Carambola (star fruit)!
Finish: Lingering Pineapple and Mandarin, balanced sweet to sour medium length, discovering hints of even more complexity at the fading stage. i could swear i tasted Carambola at the end.

No idea why i had discovered this rum so late in life, it is very affordable, great value for money and above all a premium grade sipper. specially for those who don't mind some little bites of youth. although the stated 5 years age is on par with 8 year statements of Jamaican famous brand, which is compliment to what the 5 years can do to the Angostura.
on the complexity and age palate level of 8 year Appleton Estate and Havana Club Anejo
a great example of how a great rum should taste and feel!
8.1/10

Solid for price.
Without specific notes, great for cocktails.

Decent but not remarkable in any way rum. Still, it has quite a good value for money considering it's 20 eur price (January 2024).

it s not a rum to sip neat, bought it because it was discounted, will do rum & coke ...

Gott med lite söt rom efter libanesisk middag. Kryddig.

Tasted at Laka Lono 8/28/22
Aroma: vanilla and cedar
This would be delicious mixed

It's a average rum for me, no real distinguishable taste. Kind of a mixture of flavour.

The nose is sweet and seedy and smells quite pleasant.

Not a sipping rum, had with ginger ale and it was OK.

For the price it's OK.

Most probably would not buy again

Well priced decent everyday rum, works great in mixes, but can be siped as well

Nice aroma but has a slight alcohol nose to it. Taste is good as well. Overall a good column still rum.
