Expert description

Angostura 1919 is a Caribbean Rum from Trinidad matured 8 years and bottled at 40%.

The rum comes from House of Angostura, founded in Venezuela in 1824 and relocated to Trinidad in 1875, today world-renowned for both its rum and its aromatic bitters. Angostura 1919 is a blend of rums matured in ex-bourbon casks in the Caribbean heat, which accelerates maturation compared to cooler climates, resulting in a warm, round and well-balanced rum with a pronounced focus on vanilla and caramel.
