How does this rum taste?
- Rich vanilla aroma
- Long finish
- Balanced flavors
Angostura 1787 is a 15-year-aged rum from Trinidad's T.D.L distillery, distilled from molasses and showcasing both complexity and sweetness. With prominent notes of vanilla, wood, and apple in the aroma, it's complemented by a spicy, oaky, and prune-tinged palate. Users noted a rich sweetness often described as a tad excessive and likened to "sugar juice," alongside a slightly lacking ABV for some. The rum exhibits an appealing color and a long finish, often lauded for its balance of tropical and spicy notes but occasionally criticized for being too sugary and somewhat straightforward, missing stronger alcoholic punch. Rum enthusiasts appreciated its character but pointed out its mass appeal as a potential downside. Suitable for sipping both as an aperitif or digestive.

"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."

"Overall it’s quite sweet and should have won if the ABV had been a little higher, but I still think it’s one of the better ones from Angostura cause I think it’s very interesting."

"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."

"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... 👌😋."
