Angostura 1919 8-Year

This rum is a good base for drinks but could also go for straight up on rocks. Taste becomes better with dark chocolate!

Perfekt nybörjarrom! Lättdrucken med söta toner av vanilj. Trevlig till vardags och lagomt billig

The nose was fine. Free from ethanol Nice clear caramel tone to it.
The taste has a whole lot of alcohol in it.. But there is rum..
The finish is packed with alcohol but it fades out and leaves you with loads of tones..

However much I try other rums for an everyday sipper, I always seem to come back to this one. It's not subtle, too much oak, too obvious, but that is what I really like. It doesn't try and be anything that it isn't and as such, I am a great fan. My perfect everyday sipper.

One thing does annoy me though, is often the bottles seem to be underfilled. Or maybe they are putting 70cl in a 75cl bottle. Whatever, when the bottle comes with the level mid to top shoulder, it doesn't look good.

Angostura rums have a nice flavor profile but I just wish they didn´t add sugar to them. This one has 13g/L so not the worst but it would been better without any.

But seems to have a doctored taste, perhaps a little too sweet and vanilla but not unpleasantly so.

Hasn't let me down in recipes that call for a moderately aged blend.

Cocoa, caramel and vanilla. Smooth, no harshness, but long-lasting after taste of smoke toasty flavour.

Nice nose with a straw color. Seemed like it was going to be smooth which is why I found the initial bite surprising!
But as I let in linger on the palate I found it smoothed out.
Interesting rum

Nutty, light herbaceous, with subtle hits of vanilla I want to say. I did make a Rumrita with this and it was really quit good. I wouldn't buy this again, but that's not to say it couldn't find a place in your liquor cabinet.
