T.D.L Angostura 1919 (Vintage)

"More interesting in aroma than taste," as one member put it — the nose leans sweet and vanilla-heavy, with caramel and a whiff of arrack, while the palate turns creamy and round but a touch flat. Several tasters call it too sweet and, at 40%, a bit weak and thin on the finish. A gentle Trinidad column-still sipper that many met early in their rum days.

The community says
  • Sweet vanilla nose
  • Creamy and round

One of the first rums I tasted when my adult rum journey started, and it still pleasing me even that it’s too sweet. The nose have scents of arrack, vanilla and caramel. At the palate it’s sweet, creamy and round with flavors of arrack, vanilla and chocolate. The finish is medium long.

Once a goto rum after a busy day, now just a distant memory of former glory and at 40% ABV is just to weak. But I still like this older bottle better than the new one though. By the way, RumX should think about a way to handle and illustrate changes in taste preference over time.

It was a gift, had to drink it, I even think I liked it at the time... Very soft and too sweet for my tastes today.

Avg Rating 8.3/10 over 420 Rums

Angostura is famous for a bottle most people never drink neat. The bitters house founded in 1824 became Trinidad's only rum distillery, and its arm Trinidad Distillers makes a clean, column-distilled, Spanish-style rum unlike the heavy funk of Jamaica or Guyana. The same plant still guards the secret recipe for the world's most famous cocktail bitters.
