“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“07.2024 Erster Eindruck: lebendig, fruchtig, aromatisch Nase: schöne Melange aus Früchten, Honig, Vanille und wenig Röstaromen und Anflug von Estern Gaumen: frisch und vollmundig, alles, was Rum interessant macht, komplex Abgang: jetzt schiebt sich die kräftigere Aromenfraktion nach vorne, kurzer Nachhall Gesamteindruck: sehr schöner Feierabend-Sipper für erfolgreiche Tage Hatte den 1919 schon lange nicht mehr im Glas und freue mich, ihn wiederentdeckt zu haben. In der Mitte von fruchtigen Jamaikanern und würzigen Spaniern. Kommt wieder ins Regal, wenn er mal leer geworden sein sollte. 2018 Würzig-trockener Trinidadier mit sehr präsenten Holz- und Vanillenoten. Einer meiner ersten Rums, den ich alle paar Jahre gerne wieder einschenke, auch wenn sich meine Vorlieben verändert haben.”

“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...”

“Für den Preis ganz ordentlich. Zitronenzeste, dezente Süße, etwas torfig, im Abgang holzig und trocken. Nichts Besonderes, aber gut trinkbar.”

“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.”
