What surprises people is how thin this "premium" name drinks: it's a light, sweet Trinidad column rum leaning hard on vanilla and caramel, with raisin, honey and a touch of oak underneath. Several tasters like it neat with a rock or two, but plenty find it too simple and a bit sharp — and it tastes noticeably sweetened. Many end up mixing it instead.

Does not cost much, but can also not particularly much. I will not buy again. Little aroma, little flavor, relatively much sharpness.
Review by Leo Krüper
Amazingly good. Nose full of Trinidad. Very light taste, of course. I think it's only moderately suitable for beginners, as you'd expect something pleasantly sweet in this price segment. The TDL aromas come through well, almost herbal/tar. I am very positively surprised.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A fairly decent rum at the price tag. The nose is a bit astringent in the beginning but then turns fruity with vanilla and caramel. The palate is warm and sweet with fruits, oak tannins and spices. The finish is medium long and sweet with oak and fruits. I will try to experiment with this rum in mixers.
Review by TheRhumhoe
The basic rum in Angostura's range, this juice offers more as it is tasted. The nose is fairly closed, stuck between spices (nutmeg, vanilla), barrel wood, caramel and raisin. Pear comes through subtly, but doesn't leave the best olfactory impression. The profile gains in flavor once on the palate. The markers remain the same (spices, caramel, dried fruit and light oak), but the alcoholic and medicinal touch on menthol lends a little charm to this classic British rum profile. The alcohol is a little more noticeable as a result, but it accompanies the overall profile well. The finish is of good quality, a little drier and more empyreumatic than the rest of the profile would suggest. Tobacco, licorice, roasted and spicy notes dominate in the face of caramel and dried fruit, which is not unpleasant. A rum that should serve as an introduction to more complex things, or that is destined to end up in mixology.
Review by cigares
A light rum, but the alcohol can be felt on the nose, with vanilla and caramel.The palate is sweet with vanilla, little wood.The finish is a bit disappointing, short with honey.Nothing unpleasant, but nothing exceptional either.
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
07.2024 First impression: lively, fruity, aromatic Nose: beautiful blend of fruit, honey, vanilla and a few roasted aromas and hints of esters Palate: fresh and full-bodied, everything that makes rum interesting, complex Finish: now the stronger aroma fraction pushes forward, short reverberation Overall impression: very nice after-work sipper for successful days I haven't had the 1919 in my glass for a long time and I'm delighted to have rediscovered it. In the middle of fruity Jamaicans and spicy Spaniards. I'll put it back on the shelf when it runs out. 2018 Spicy, dry Trinidadian with very present wood and vanilla notes. One of my first rums that I like to pour again every few years, even if my preferences have changed.
Review by Adrian Wahl
It's okay, but I don't see the premium claim within the series.
Review by Tim
Pleasant nose of grape/wine and dried fruit, plus dark toasty aromas (baked apple, cocoa) that also remind me a bit of leather. Similarities to an Agricole are there. In the mouth, the nose continues, with sweetness, raisins, chocolate and spices. Alcohol spiciness is clearly noticeable. For the price, this is perfectly fine.
Review by rum_sk
Retasting after 18YO single cask tdl from Albert Michler: Long Story short this one is sweeter, tastier, not sure how much sugar was added since it seems a completely different rum than its 18YO SC brother. But I like this one more, the older one has nothing to offer for me in terms of 👃 or 👅. Retasting after Cane Island Trinidad 8YO: The color is lighter than CI, fainter. 👃 is also very different, this one is sweeter, not by much but sweeter, CI was kind of harsh, not balanced, mostly oak and alcohol and weirdly enough- natural gas. 👅 is a different story- very similar to the point I cannot tell the difference but it comes up in the aftertaste- 1919 is a little less sweet than CI with more woody notes in the main body. If I had to decide between the two, I would go with CI. I can even feel more alcohol in this one insoite the CI is a little bit higher in ABV. Therefore, I need to degrade the rating for this one significantly. /// The smell is kind of neutral for me I cannot sense anything particular in it other than the characteristic smell of rum, maybe a pineapple? I was worried after that but palate is awesome it is sweet, vanilla, caramel, fruity with soft and oily touch on the tongue. It is soft and light but the taste is prominent. Could be much better without the dilution...
Review by Timo Groeger
A completely normal average rum. I think it tastes relatively sweet. However, I can't really taste many flavors. No short finish either. Nothing special but a solid rum.
Review by Stefan Pisanu
Lekkere zoete fruitige run
Review by Portman
Quite decent for the price. Lemon zest, subtle sweetness, a little peaty, woody and dry on the finish. Nothing special, but easy to drink.
Review by TheJackDrop
A bit simple and light, but really nice. In summary, my tasting notes: On the nose: Vanilla, dried apricot. On the palate: Honeyed. The finish leans towards: Raisins. Still a safe bet at this price.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
A subtle nose, vanilla and caramel with a hint of baked apples and old wood. Very round. The palate is slightly more flavourful than the nose would suggest. Less fruity, more deeper notes of leather and honey. The finish is short. A touch bitter. There's a nice hazelnut note. Overall, a bit thin but not unpleasant.
Review by Johannes
I'm positively surprised. Nice vanilla, milk chocolate. To me, it almost seems a bit sweetened or artificial.
Review by Fabian Hernandez Barco
Nice to finish a meal
Review by Corentin Gane
A rum I recommend. It's a sure-fire way to introduce a rum to the uninitiated.
Review by Émile Shevek
Sweet caramel, peppery spices, some fruit and a delicate body
Review by Basti
Somewhat very vanilla-heavy
Review by Mateusz
It is a good rum balancing fresher notes with heavy old rum. There is sweetness, vanilla with hints of leather and tobacco. I like the attempt at balancing the heavy notes with fresh notes here. The effect gives it some nice sharp fruit notes. Shame it’s sweetened though.
Review by Sven Erbe
Probably more suitable for mixing than for pure enjoyment. Suitable as a daiquiri... just noticed
Review by jOAK
Absolutely lovely on the nose! Mouth is a bit weak but the finish is lingering. This one is descent on its own but really founds it place and shines in cocktails, where I think TDL seems to be underated.
Review by Jakob Deiner
Classic, medium-intense vanilla/caramel profile with slight wood. No off notes, mild and easy to drink with minimal sweetness. - Neat: 3.5/5 - Rum Cola: 3.5/5 - Rum Mule: 3.5/5

Pretty mellow, good nose
Review by Sylvain Bebess
Good digestif rum !!!!
Review by GustavoLima
Drier than the Bacardi 8, but simpler and lighter than both the aforementioned and the Havana 7. Excellent for preparing drinks (it makes a killer Cuba Libre), but not so good on its own.
Review by Hans-Peter Jank
A pleasant mix of vanilla, cocoa and coconut.
Review by Cédric Meyers
Very soft, round, almost no taste.

Review by xasmx
Have a bottle of this that I've used in cocktails. Nothing exciting. Just had a sample of this from a rum advent calendar. ..and wow, what a difference. Menthol, bubble gum, berries. It's still diluted and sweetened, but wow. What a difference between samples from two different bottles of a core offering.
Review by Dave Dahlgren
Kommer från när en brand skedde. Brände bort det mesta av lagret och en köpte allt som fanns kvar efter elden. Den klarade elden. Dagens läge är de lagrade på brända tunnor med komplex socker. Rökig len och lite mera som en whiskey. Smakar lite som en starkare öl på druvor i eftersmaken. Lite besk o torr
Review by Solidfunk
Ashtray at the end after a hit of booze. Golden pour. Caramel, plenty of sweetness. Vanilla, coconut. Oaky in the finish too. Had a glass of this at the fancy bar on the Christiansted boardwalk in St. Croix.
Review by DrBoo69
Heavy on vanilla. A pleasant neat drinker; very smooth with 3 small rocks
Review by Rum N Cigar
Beautiful notes of vanilla and caramel. Very pleasant on the nose as well as on the palate.

Krasna specificka vune i chut trinidadu. Cekal jsem vzhledem k veku, ze bude ostrejsi
Review by Teo Kas
Used a whole bottle of it to make Dark ’n Stormy cocktails for my company this summer in a greek island. It worked great in the cocktails but i wouldn’t drink it as it is, too simple. But maybe ok for beginners.
