Tasting Notes

The House of Angostura has been producing fine rums for 130 years, mastering the art of ageing and blending. The House of Angostura’s superior rums are helping to redefine the rum category as one with equal sophistication, craftsmanship and artistry to spirits like whisky. The rums of the House of Angostura are a treasured legacy, a tribute to the evolution of the rum industry in the Caribbean and the men and women who nurtured it. The House of Angostura controls its rum manufacturing process from end to end. Angostura 1919 is a light blend of rums aged in charred, used bourbon casks. 1919 is a premium sipping rum, golden amber in hue exhibiting a rich complex bouquet of cocoa, vanilla and coconut. Remarkably well rounded in taste with a dry medium-bodied palate, 1919 reveals hints of roasted nuts, creamy vanilla, brown spices and tropical nuances. This historic rum was the result of a fire, which consumed the Government Rum Bond in 1932. Mr. Fernandes purchased the remaining charred casks (which still contained rum) and discovered that they had been filled in the year 1919. The purchased rum was blended and became known as “1919 Aged Rum”.
