Angostura 1824 12-Year

Rum is nice with hints of tobacco oak leather. Not to sweet

If I'm honest, white rum isn't my favourite, but this is very serviceable.

Very smooth, too smooth in fact. Not enough flavor for the price. 1919 is the better rum.

It´s a good Rum, but for this price i can get some better one

Full flavored molasses rum with a kick in the back. An ice cube mellows this one out.

Smooth, not too sweet, put an ice cube in it and enjoy!

Ok so I am still fairly new to rating premium rums and I feel I am still finding my feet but that being said, it's obvious that this is a decent standalone rum and the producers of it should feel proud that it's a fine product.

I've always have maintained that for anybody new to premium rums then a good introductory for them is Ron Zacapa 23 Solera or Diplomatico Exclusive Reserva. They are solid benchmarks and will immediately inform a novice sipper that the Bacardi, Captain Morgans and Bundaberg they are used to forcing down at their local pub are swill and good for little else than mixing. This I think, is now a 3rd option for those introductory recommendations to what real sippers should be like.

Popping the bottle I immediately get hit with a strong whiff of alcohol and think to myself that it immediately comes across as more scotch than rum. How pleasantly surprised I am when I take my first mouthful and find no burn whatsoever (for the record I chucked a couple cubes in anticipation it would burn and may need watering down).

It's a nice rum with some thin but lasting legs, it has a decent deal of complexity going on, it's sweet but not too sweet. Nor does it have that nasty ethanol whiff that some other brands out there have that pretend to be sippers until you take your first sip and realise that it its not really a sipper.

For a 12 year old rum, I think it's respectable, with a good deal of complexity and I look forward to trying more in their range.

Molasses, oak, honey, caramel, toffee and maybe tobacco or something odd there that sits in the corner and then comes out in strength after the mouthful goes down. Nice waxy coating mouthfeel you get with certain scotches. I personally rank this a 7.5. It's not good enough to break an 8 given some of the excellent rums I've given 8 and above to but with a friend on a lazy Sunday arvo with some chill music, good weather and sunshine, it works just fine.

Would definitely try again. Wondering how it will fare as a mixer as it does have a fair amount of complexity to it that might be drowned out.

Tried this after the bartender made an intro. Weak color. Not to sweet. Balanced body. A little bit sweet aftertaste but you are loosing quickly. Always with ice and dont mix it

Spiced room. Strong. Nice and sweet aroma of orange and citrus. aftertaste of oak and tobbako. light mouth.

Angenehmer weicher Rum, vanille und ganz leichte Früchte mit lang anhaltendem Geschmack.
