Angostura 1919 8-Year rum

Angostura 1919 8-Year

Trinidad and Tobago | Aged | 40% ABV

Angostura 1919 rum is produced in Trinidad by blending a combination of light and heavy molasses distilled rums. These rums spend at least 8 years aging in American oak bourbon barrels.

The name Angostura "1919" refers to the event in 1932 when Angostura's distillery was destroyed by fire. Miraculously, a handful of barrels filled with rum from 1919 survived and were purchased by J.B. Fernandes - the master blender of Fernandes Distillers.

Angostura 1919 40% Trinidad

Eye: Thin gold

Nose: It introduces itself as a sober-minded, level-headed, fruity, sweet and flowery rum with scents of custard, pineapple, almond flakes, sawdust from silver birch, ripe exotic fruit compote, butter, panna cotta, fat green shoots and banana liquor. Very pleasant but also rather predictable, uninteresting on the verge of being boring. Still refreshing and somewhat appealing.

Mouth: Restrained and consistent with some well hidden qualities. It puts on an almost neutral impression but some flavors are taking the lead, these are mango, cinnamon, hazel nut and almonds. There are also some side tracks with citrus that lingers throughout the whole palate. It is quite tasty actually and offers a consonance of sweetness, flora and fruit. A little oak contributes to the finish which is medium long. I like it but it is too …low key and careful to leave a lasting impression.

Reaction: The smell is nice, nothing to complain about. On the palate it is nice, nothing to complain about. Even the color is nice with nothing to complain about. The question is: if I am going to team up with this one for a whole evening, what are we going to talk about? Thumbs up for this easy pleaser. The price is also right.

N- Not often rum improve with breathing, but this one an exceptional. Initially with white fruit and condensed milk + black tea, very local 'teh-xi'. Watery, mineral in the middle and molasses syrup at tail, masked with sugar on each sniff. Then ice cream soda, root beer with charred peels emerged, capped with delicious vanilla ice cream and balanced subtle wood and solvent floral notes. (87/21)

P- Sweet and subdue initially, then get whiff of medicinal along fresh pine and antiseptic nuance, sounds like detergent I know, but don't taste like it, so no worry. Semi dry, peppery and waxy, the medicinal part works well with the creamy coat. (87/21)

F- Medium, vanilla fudge, plenty of tart fruits linger, broad with good depth. (86/20)

Body/Balance:- Ordinary at the beginning, but body builds up overtimes make every subsequent sips taste better then the earlier. (87/21)

Weighted Rate:- 83pt

Cinnemon, vanilla and some wood in the nose.
More or less the same on the tongue. So far so good; unfortunately there is hardly any finishing in the palate. That costs it the 9th bottle.

rhum de Trinité & Tobago

voici un rhum dit "traditionnel" qui nous vient du cœur des Caraïbes ; il est distillé à base de mélasse et issu de l'assemblage de rhums de plus de 8 ans d'âge (minimum) vieilli en fûts de bourbon.

Dés l'ouverture une odeur suave et mielleuse de vanille donne un aperçu de la suite ; c'est rond et gourmand : on est tout de suite séduit avant même de verser ce précieux nectar dans un verre.

la couleur est d'or au reflet ambrée, attirante et gourmande aussi. On est loin des couleurs foncées de certains rhums, ici nous sommes au calme et le soleil passe à travers le verre sans aucune perte de chaleur ni de lumière.

Au nez on remarque tout de suite la vanille, du caramel (gourmand), de la noix de coco, des notes de cacao et de fruits secs. c'est doux et on ne s'en lasse pas une seconde.

En bouche l'Angostura 1919 est très doux, presque moelleux ; c'est un rhum séduisant, tout en rondeur, avec une saveur de vanille qui éclate en bouche, des notes de miel et de fruits secs (grillés). On remarque aussi un quelque chose d'exotique (fruits), de la noix de coco.

Le finale est long et les arômes restent en bouche après la dégustation, c'est un effet bluffant et fort agréable. Rajoutez à cela un prix plus que raisonnable pour un vieux rhum, et vous avez un excellent rhum de dégustation, un cadeau merveilleux à offrir, un rhum à partager et à comparer :)

Le nez se révèle très vanillé, puissant, enivrant. La bouche est plus sèche que son grand frère l'Angostura 1824 et amène un peu de caramel, de noisette et de grillé. Le final est impressionnant et vanillé.

This is a great rum to have with an exotic meal. Not an everyday Rum, but a special occasion drink. Very robust Oak.
