Angostura 1824 12-Year

I drank this neat at a bar. Nice light and flavorful rum but there was too much alcohol taste on the nose and the finish. It would have been an excellent rum if it weren't for that.

Gorgeous bottle, lovely amber colour.
As with the 1919 and similar to St Clement this has the medicinal note to it, which makes it a binary choice: you get it or you don't.

Majoring on El Dorado and Foursquare, I don't get it.

Good flavor, but the bite dominates. $'s don't equate.

edit-a fresh tasting/ that 6 may be too high. Something is overpowering here.

edited to add sugar test results- 18g

Sweet and spicy with dark chocolate, licorish, bayleaf and a distinct taste of cough syrup. Not really enjoyable to be honest.

Ordered this one again. In my mind it was a darker tasting rum with hints of coffee, caramel and hazel.

The reality from the current bottle however is little to no scent. The thickness is nice and smooth in your mouth. But no real stand out tones in the taste and slightly sour aftertaste.

Could be that I am getting a cold which is affecting my taste so I’d try again soon.

Odd taste notes, tobacco etc. Clearly an essence-bomb, despite of Angostura always saying they do not put in essences (well, lab tests say otherwise). sweetened. Unnatural vanilla. Thin base spirit. No thanks. Has gotten from not so nice to truly awfully poor in its lifetime. Weak.

Nice flavored rum, but loaded with added sugar. Too bad. Vanilla and caramel come through, as well as some smokiness. A shame it's been sweetened so heavily.

Well, this one is sneaky. The 1824 feels like you're drinking a 20 proof child's version of rum. There is little aroma and even less flavor. It's as if someone has poured water into a half-full rum bottle. It doesn't taste bad, it just doesn't taste.

Buen ron suave y con demasiado sabor a vainilla al igual que el 1919, no es mi tipo de ron.

unfortunately is english sweetened style ... we use angostura bitters, amaro di angostura but the rum ... heard that new ones are not sweetened must buy and check
