Angostura 1919 8-Year

Better in my memories, but pleasant, not so sweet. Nothing exceptional .

It's a lovely rum. Starting backwards the finish is amazing and reminds me of high proof bourbon. An amazing delicate back of the throat tingle and hints of cocoa powder and raw sugar. The nose has something like candied raisins. There's a lovely light caramel note. Just overall a pleasant rum. At the price use it to make cocktails amazing or sip it neat. Might start keeping this around for nightcaps.

A rather strongish and aggressive taste for my liking, and did not get the cocoa, vanilla and coconut bouquet promised on the label. Would prefer this one half and half with a cola or juice.

Vanilla is predominant in the aroma and taste, but the wood of the barrels can also be felt. Not too alcoholic, rather mild. Finish rather short and still dominated by vanilla. It is a little lacking in depth. Nevertheless, this taste can be enjoyed.

Nose: smoky, oaky, spicy, fruity, pleasant, with a hint of vanilla.
Palate: warm, some slight sharpness, rather a fine and thin spirit, some scent of wood maybe, not voluminous, not long lasting. But pretty sweet taste. Pleasant.

One of my favourites, perfect hint of Vanilla and sweetness.

A little vanilla, pine resin, and bananas but not strongly flavored overall. Smooth with a little alcohol bite and not much finish. I think it would be good in a cocktail where other flavors can shine.

Had this rum with a nice Casdagli cigar. Sweet, easy on the throat, very fine rum! Will get a bottle as soon as I go shop for rum

A very notable smooth aged rum , balanced , not too sweet , not too rough. It would be 7/10 if the angostura 7 wasn't 10 euros cheeper

Tasted at Laka Lono on 3/7/19. Very pronounced aroma of cotton candy and honey. Smooth palate yet burns the gut. Residual mild honey sweetness to the flavor. I find the Angostura rums to have a harsh afterburn.
