Angostura 5 years old Superior Gold Trinidad & Tobago Caribbean Rum 70 cl 40%

Superior Gold is the house's entry point into age-stated releases, smooth enough to drink alone, characterful enough to be remembered.

Expert description

Angostura 5 Year Superior Gold is a Caribbean Rum from Trinidad and Tobago matured 5 years in first-fill bourbon casks and bottled at 40%.

The rum comes from House of Angostura, founded in Venezuela in 1824 and relocated to Trinidad in 1875. Superior Gold is composed as a smooth, accessible introduction to the house's age-stated rum series, where the relatively short maturation still delivers a full, round character thanks to the accelerated maturation of the Caribbean heat.
