What is Angostura Rum 1919?
Angostura 1919 is a premium aged rum from Trinidad and Tobago, blending rums aged for at least 8 years in charred American oak bourbon barrels. What makes this rum truly special is its unexpected origin story: it was created after a fire in 1932 destroyed the Government Rum Bond, leading to the discovery of charred casks filled with rum from 1919 that had developed a remarkably smooth and complex flavor profile.
Why do we love Angostura Rum 1919?
Cocktail enthusiasts should embrace Angostura 1919 rum for its exceptional smoothness and rich, complex flavor profile that sets it apart from many other golden rums.

How do you drink Angostura Rum 1919?

Nose: Rich caramel and vanilla notes dominate, followed by hints of toasted oak and warm baking spices. A subtle fruitiness reminiscent of ripe bananas and dried apricots emerges, along with a touch of cocoa.
Palate: Smooth and well-balanced, with initial flavors of butterscotch and toffee. The sweetness is complemented by notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a slight nuttiness. Traces of tropical fruit and dark chocolate add complexity. The rum's age is evident in its refined, mellow character.
Finish: Long and satisfying, with lingering warmth. The oak influence becomes more pronounced, bringing a pleasant dryness that balances the sweet notes. Subtle hints of tobacco and leather emerge, along with a final whisper of vanilla and spice.
