Red fruit and quince jam sit right up front here — cherry, plum, prune, with vanilla and toffee behind and a woody, faintly smoky, rubbery Trinidad backbone. The 15 years of oak really show. A few tasters find it too sweet and "very directly sugary," others love the unusual fruit-forward profile. Rounded and fruity at 40%, with a long finish that surprises people.
The community says- Red fruit, quince
- Long oaky finish
- Keep in mind: Added sugar

How does T.D.L Angostura Angostura 1787 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Fruity, sweet Trinidad sipper with real oak Genuinely liked for its red-fruit, quince-and-cherry character and long oaky finish. The catch: several find it heavily sweetened and wish for more ABV punch.

Overall it’s quite sweet and should have been even better if the ABV had been a little higher, but I still think it’s one of the better ones and a very interesting, complex and intense rum from Angostura. Both the nose and the palate is very fruity with scents and flavors of banana, citrus, grapefruit and prunes together with some vanilla and toffee.

Bar Caribbean Club Barcelona May 2026. Nice, small mini-bar anyway, which we visited after the MotoGP free practice here. First there is a T.D.L, nothing special, plenty of mint again, nice start, especially because the glass is really filled here :)

30.11.2025 Retasting and it did lose some points 😊 ------- This one concludes this week's tastings. Angostura has done it again. Another great rum and this one is a tad better than their 12 year old. This one was blended by John George's and he did a really good job. After blending it matured for 15 years in oak and you can taste that oak. A fruity well balanced rum with a long and full bodied finish.
Review by MarcT
Onwards in my quest to get to know more of all the distillers! This one is a more standard rum, targeting the premium consumer market, and better than the longer aged 1824 in my opinion. Smelling I get some fruit, a sour note geared towards apple, and slightly herbal notes. On the palate the fruit seems to take a vacation and is more or less absent with the exception of some orange peel, and I get woody notes along again with some herbs and dry cocoa. It seems to be also a bit watery in the mouth at first, but then gets some more power the longer it is allowed to linger on the tongue, and brings some really dark caramel with it. Overall OK, but nothing special. I have yet to find a rum from Trinidad that I really like.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,8:On the nose, the first impression we get is a great Trinidadian rum. The rum is all fruity, just a bit vegetal, with sweet notes of plum, pear and quince jam.Over time, it thickens with beeswax and cane. There's pleasant smokiness, tarry notes with gourmand chocolate. Aeration brings out toasty woodiness, again ripe, stewed fruit come around, as banana, mango, some passion fruit and tangerine, other citrus, very tasty. Spices and licorice molasses, some roasted palate with coffee, caramelized burnt sugar arise when rum is well rested. Heavy industrial notes are gone now, with some tannins left. 8,8:The attack on the palate is with molasses and caramel and strong, ripe fruits and is citrusy. The Trinidadian character is present but rounded, the molasses is both woody and licorice-like. The palate is complex with the vegetal side added.The rum then melts into fruit jam, the quince blending well with the slightly burnt, metallic and smoky side with minimal bitterness. 8,6:The finish is balanced, Trinidadian character is omnipresent until the end of the tasting... 👌😋
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
From a tasting a little more than a year ago. The nose has a sweetness and hints of dried fruits, oak and other fruits. In the notes I got sweet hints of toffee, dried fruits and a bit of oak. A good balanced rum

Top for 40%, we have the TDL markers
Review by Korkennase🥃
This rum is oily in the glass and has a beautiful color. The rum is very complex. The nose is very lush and intense. The taste is bitter, coupled with a slight sweetness and somewhat reminiscent of rubber. The finish is long and intense with an earthy note. This rum is something for connoisseurs, can be drunk as an aperitif or digestive. My taste has not met this rum. But is not bad.
Review by Thunderbird
In terms of smell, the rum is rather restrained and closed. He is hardly to be clearly defined. In the mouth clearly dominates a spicy woody note with a slight smoky touch. The finish can almost be described as long-lasting! A rum to enjoy, but not everybodys Darling! I like it very much!
Review by Alexander Rasch
My RumRatings review from 6 years ago: In the glass, the rum quickly releases beautiful notes of oranges, smoke, and tobacco, which are clearly perceptible even without putting your nose directly into the glass. It's clear that this is not a rum that hides itself. When drinking, the smoky vanilla becomes clear first, with a good portion of sweetness. Then follows a fruity note: candied apples. Wood notes accompany the composition. In the finish, the fruity note with caramelized parts remains, which is captured by oak wood notes. The wood note remains quite present. For about 65 euros, it offers a fairly complex sequence of aromas that harmonize well. It has a good body for 40%; I think 3-5% more alcohol would have done it good. So far, successful but certainly not for everyone. The Angostura 1787 is the logical development of the 1824. The Kill Devil Trinidad 10 years shows what more alcohol and less sugar can do. Edit 2026: I've since killed 3 bottles of the 1787 and I still love this great Angostura nose. On the palate, with more experience, clearly flatter than initially estimated. A must for beginners. Also great with Coke. Love goes out to Angostura. For me, the best product of this brand. Definitely grab it for 40-50€ on offer. 👍👍👍
Review by Pavel Spacek
Too weak, but the cherry taste is great! ... Destilerka TDL produkuje krasne jemne matove rumy. Bohuzel ne vzdy je mata hlavni zastupce v chuti, ale stopu po ni v TDL rumech najdete vzdycky. Jeden z rumu, ktery musite v zivote ochutnat, abyste meli kompletni prehled o chutich z rumoveho sveta. Zadna jina destilerka neprodokuje rumy s matovou chuti.
Review by w00tAN
Good round rum, something artificial resonates with ok but it is a mass product let's not fool ourselves.
Review by Daniel
Conclusion: fancy character, for me coherent composition of tropical fruit sweetness and the typical trinidad notes such as rubber and spices. Slightly something light, yet absolute purchase recommendation.
Review by Banana Joe
Tasting evening with mto75. Next up is Angostura.
Review by Philipp W.
(Ported review from Rum Ratings) I really like it. The fruitiness positively surprised me on the first sip and dominates. Otherwise not the most complex and still relatively sweet.
Review by Viktorvaughn
Good stuff. Very red fruit forward, jammy, quince, and the 15 years of aging is evident. The fruitiness dances around the oak and something faintly industrial/smokey. The mouth presence is impressive for 40% and the finish is nicely long.
Review by R Wehner
Nose lots of wood, plus the typical Angostura note
Review by Jakob Deiner
Very fruity with unusual notes of red fruits, cherry. Alongside vanilla/caramel and oak on the nose, on the palate vanilla/caramel recedes, oaky in the fairly long finish. Profile truly unique, comparable to sherry/PX finishes, only with red fruits/cherry instead of sherry/raisins and less sweetness. Drinks: - Neat: 4.5/5 - Rum Cola: 3/5 (Red fruit note clashes a bit with cola, unfortunately no cherry-coke)

GRF 2026: sweetened rum
Review by Kieron Wood
Rumfest 2023 tasting so notes were brief This was a great suprise and a move away from the usual dosed rums
Review by Tafia Guildive
The pictured version was tasted; unlike the Angostura 1824 NAS, which is not sweet, this 15-year-old Angostura 1787 definitely is. The aroma is very similar to the NAS 1824, with added vanilla and a heavy sweetness that emphasizes the known aromas even more. I like the Angostura 1824 NAS much better because it isn't as heavily sweetened as this version. I will look for the new and less or unsweetened version of this Angostura 1787, as I don't particularly like it this way.
Review by Balu
Hamuniert with the wood.

Smooth, sweet, savory, satisfying.
Review by Elijs Dima
Very easy to like, massively sweet, little bit of tropical-overripe-funk. Too smooth and nice, too straightforward. Very directly sugary, as in tastes like sugar juice.

Read full review ›I tried the new 2025-2026 release with new packaging. A 40% that surprises you. Good nose and good body. It maintains the main characteristics of the high aromaticity TDLs. I haven't had the chance to try the previous version, so I can't make comparisons.
