Angostura 1787 15-Year

it is trying to be like classic rum, you can feel the oak sly, with karmel a bit, toffee, vanilla, cherry, long alcohol finish, also you will be hited by spice, paper or tabaco, or its just heavy oak :) do not recommend for beginners, even not worth to try for that price

Darker color and distinguishable presence. Smooth all the time yet specific one. Caramel flavour in in the body. Gets smoother in the aftertaste.

N- Initial nutmeg that leads you into tropical fruit farm filled with ripe fruits, soothing and comfort aroma of maple, liquorice, banana and passionfruit rising from the glass. Thought a tad of nasty brown sugar in the middle but still pleasant. Peach-ed marsala tea. (86/20)

P- Spices, toasty with coat of bitter sweet toffee. Floral and fruit nuances linger with canned fruits, apricot and peach of that sorts. Wee thin on body, a bit stingy as this supposed their very top range. (86/20)

F- Short-medium, remain waxy, buttery with mouthwatering spicy oak. Short of width, drowned with dilution. Could be better (85/19)

Body/Balance- 85/19

Weighted Rate- 78pt

Schönes helles Mahagoni im Glas.
In der Nase dominiert das Karamell, Früchte und Holztöne begleiten das Ganze.
Im Gaumen sehr weich und elegant wie ein Sahnebonbon mit Karamellkern, sehr süss.
Der Abgang schön lang und langsam ausklingend.
Ein gutgemachter Rum um eine guten Tag ausklingen zu lassen. Für Liebhaber von leicht süssem Rum.

Beautiful light mahogany in the glass.
Caramel dominates the nose, fruits and wood tones accompany the whole thing.
Very soft and elegant on the palate, like a creamy candy with a caramel core, very sweet.
The finish beautifully long and slowly fading away.
A well-made rum to end a good day. For lovers of slightly sweet rum.

I had this side by side with the Angostura 1824, as they are both priced similarly (this costs just a little more).

This has more oak than the 1824, and is slightly dryer as a result, but it is still sweet.

Smells and tastes of molasses, oak, honey, and spice. Between this and the 1824, I'll give the ever so slight edge to the 1824, as I like sweeter less oaked rums.

But this is another fine rum by Angostura!

Beautiful mahogany color with almond pastry notes, butterscotch, coffee and caramel sometimes going to chocolate and dried fruit. On the palate are dried fruits such as grapes with woody notes. The final is long and dry. I never identified the caroni side explained by Martin Jeppesen on his comment. The tasting environment was noisy and polluted by food odors. Could be great to taste it again... ;-)

Sååå len och mjuk i smaken. Söt, vilket jag gillar. Jag blev överförtjust i den.

Not the best in this range, but which one would be anyways? Taste is a very subjective matter nontheless. I like it and dont regret the purchase. What makes it unique in my collection is the smokey thing it has to it. Recommendation.

8,8:On the nose, the first impression we get is a great Trinidadian rum. The rum is all fruity, just a bit vegetal, with sweet notes of plum, pear and quince jam.Over time, it thickens with beeswax and cane. There's pleasant smokiness, tarry notes with gourmand chocolate.
Aeration brings out toasty woodiness, again ripe, stewed fruit come around, as banana, mango, some passion fruit and tangerine, other citrus, very tasty. Spices and licorice molasses, some roasted palate with coffee, caramelized burnt sugar arise when rum is well rested. Heavy industrial notes are gone now with some tannins left
8,8:The attack on the palate is light, with molasses and caramel and strong, ripe fruits and is citrusy. The Trinidadian character is present but rounded, the molasses is both woody and licorice-like. The palate is complex with the vegetal side added.The rum then melts into fruit jam, the quince blending well with the slightly burnt, metallic and smoky side.
8,6:The finish is balanced, Trinidadian character is omnipresent until the end of the tasting.
👌😋.

A study in diversity of tastes and a bit novel in my mind. I really had to think twice, over several drinks, as to my opinion of this bottle. I didn't get the nose others were talking about - I thought it was very inviting. However there was a prevailing back note that I wasn't overly fond of - possibly very oak forward from the cask. finish was OK - not overly drawn out with a nice warmth traveling into my sinuses especially. Not a hero in the sipping department but will do in a pinch. it does shine with equal parts of cola but too expensive to be a mixer. On the subject of cost.....I paid under $60 (including tax) in Alberta. Even in my home city, prices ranged north of 80 and noticed prices in some areas north of $100 Can. Wow what a difference. this has been the most extreme example of price differences but folks, let your fingers do the walking on the internet and save some coin. Cheers!
