Angostura N°1 is a very old rum from the famous Trinidad & Tobago distillery which has spent 10 years in bourbon barrels – which is classic for an old rum – then 6 more years in old barrels having previously contained Cognac, which is already less usual.
Laurent's tasting notes
Its color is a deep gold.
On the nose, the aromas are light. We have a blend of several complementary scents, none of which really takes over: woody, orange, almond, vanilla and a discreet tobacco. The whole is quite greedy.
On the palate, the attack is supple and the sweetness gradually develops. At the same time, vanilla, orange and a slight woodiness dominate.
The finish is moderately long and, although it starts out sweet, becomes increasingly dry. Wood and vanilla win out in the end.
