Angostura 1787 15-Year

Really a solidly put together Rum, but there’s just a little aggressiveness to it that although interesting, was a bit off putting.

RO: mi-au placut toate ramurile incercate de la angostura, desi sunt parca mai ciudate )) aceste romuri de Trinidad Tobago.
preferatul este si ramane 1824 care m a dat peste cap cu gustul sau intens de cacao, dar 1787 in niciun caz nu dezamageste, de fapt as zice ca e mult mai complex , aromele sunt mult mai bine stratificate de fapt cred ca este romul care sta cel mai bine la acest aspect , au reusit ca , desi combina multe arome , sa poti distinge destul de clar daca te concentrezi a le lua pe rand ) si aici avem cacao dar si vanilie, piele , cafea, lemn , butoi, melasa, fructe negre dulcege, scortisoara si spre final o caramea mestecabila cu un postgust destul de lung de tabac.

o explozie de arome foarte corect detectabile ( trasatura nu foarte comuna) in care alcoolul , care se simte si el destul de prezent , se prezinta a fi liantul tuturor aromelor , ca o creanga puternica de pom fructifer plina de rod.

EN: I liked all the branches I tried from Angostura, although these Trinidad Tobago rums seem to be stranger then others

my favorite is and remains 1824, which blew me away with its intense taste of cocoa, but 1787 in no way disappoints, in fact I would say it is much more complex, the flavors are much better layered, in fact I think it is the rum that stands out better in this aspect, they managed that, although they combine many aromas, you can distinguish them quite clearly if you concentrate on taking them in turn) and here we have cocoa but also vanilla, leather, coffee, wood, barrel, molasses, black fruits sweetness, cinnamon and towards the end a chewy caramel with a fairly long aftertaste of tobacco.

an explosion of very correctly detectable aromas (not a very common trait) in which the alcohol, which is also quite present, shows itself to be the binder of all the aromas, like a strong branch of a fruit tree full of fruit.

Fairly smooth, but the flavor just isn’t my favorite. Slightly on the dry side.

Really is just an average Rum. Joins my list of 7s and does not stand out from the crowd...

Nose: very smoky, similar to Angostura 1919
Palate: complex, but well balanced, smoky and fruity at the same time. Aromatic. Slightly better than the younger 1919.

Notes of butterscotch, molasses, candied plantains and vanilla. The first sip opens up to tastes of oak, toffee, banana and dried prunes. The only aroma that stays is the oak.

Kräftiger, herber Geschmack. Sehr angenehmer Abgang. Wenig Süsse.

I really don't get this! Doesn't taste like the reviews at all to me. It's like a combination of Reimonenq and Havana Club. I don't know what happened in the 15 years but it's only on the finish that I can detect oak.
The predominant smell and taste is something floral and citrus. Mostly it reminds me of Cuban rum but weird and slightly artificial like Reimonenq. If I try really hard I can get the oily notes.
As you can probably tell, I'm not impressed! With Caroni gone, is this all the Trinidadians can look forward to? Bless 'em.

J aime beaucoup ce type de rhum, il est doux, de couleur foncé, arôme et goût de chêne, au nez on sent le fruit sec et banane. Bien équilibré et finale longue.

I expected more from this. Not as smooth as it should be. But def has a premium taste to it.
