Angostura 1824 12-Year

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

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 dont like whisky-dry taste & alchoolic aftertaste but this one is nice for hardcore bourbon style rum with some touch sweetnes (i would like little more). Also it has nice aroma.

A very smooth drink but definitely not worth the standard price point. Other options are better.

Dark bitter chocolate the moment the glass is placed on nose. Honey, dried lychee and toasted coconut with sour cherry compote.

Smokey thick molasses aroma with unripe cherry. A touch of over ripen papaya on the palate.

Finish with honey and sweet baking spices. Towards the end, good flavour of gula melaka with dry coconut (filings of kuih dadar, a local Malaysian pastry)

Ok, Angostura and me will not soon become great friends, but this one is quite nice and complex, a stand alone kind of rum, yet not my favorite, but taste is personal..

Sweet and smooth, without the extras. Totally ok for sipping

Not a great nose, beside no length in mouth. ery deceiving compared to the 1919 !

Nice nose with caramel but a bit too much wood. Good colour on the pour. Didn’t like the taste and a bit too much burn for my liking. Too much oak, tobacco and burnt tastes for my liking.
