Angostura Aged 7 Years

Rumratings 6.4

The nose has lots of plum and grapes mixed with a note similar to calvados; apples and wild flowers. Raisins and milk chocolate are most present on the palate. There's also some toffee and ginger following. The finish is medium in length. Chocolate and butterscotch mainly. Overall its a good rum. Easy drinking. A session rum, as they say.

Aroma includes orange, caramel, vanilla, and brown sugar. Flavors follow very closely with cinnamon and chocolate also in the mix. Very balanced and smooth, a good sipper.

Pleasant spicy, raisin sweet with a hint of cream toffee. Plays very well with cola, moreso than finer and more expensive vintage rums.

Prekvapila me jemnost a sladkost. Cekal jsme ze kopne

Good price-performance ratio pure drinkable but great in cocktails. Especially round compared to others of the same age

Straight off, on the nose, initial and faint alcohol soon gives over to a slightly spicy, and sweet candied orange peel aroma. A fairly singular aroma, with little complexity. Overall not unpleasant, but not an overly pleasant aroma either. The fruity sweetness has an almost candied peel liqueur quality. The initial arrival on the palate is sweet, but not too sweet. An upfront nutmeg spice is revealed. The initial fruityness on the nose drops off a little, revealing coffee notes, as well as weak black tea tannins. The finish is a little more rounded than the taste, leaving vanilla, coffee and slight wood notes. In nose, taste and finish it's not bad, but nothing grabs you. It lacks any real personality and character. The finish, whilst pleasant is rather short. Despite it's fairly lengthy aging, it lacks the character and body you can find with other similar aged, mass produced rums. Summary: This is a decent aged rum, coming in at a good price point. It's easy drinking, and doesn't challenge the palate. In fact I prefer it to the more expensive, and chemically tasting 1919. If I wanted a bottle of rum and this was all I could get, I'd buy. You can sip neat no problem, but I would get bored with it quickly. Any one of Havana 7, Ron Abeulo 7 or Appleton 8 would be chosen ahead of this rum.

Good budget sipper

Store visit Rum Paradise Hamburg April 2025. Another rather average rum. Vanilla, caramel and some plum on the nose, followed by caramel, honey and a slight whisky note on the palate.

It was my breakthrough rum. Really good basic rum. I now know there is a lot of rums which offers maybe more flavour at this level, but it’s still one of the best for the price for me. Shame it’s sweetened.

Good to drink solo on fall night and good to drink in coctails (daiquiri and cuba libre) BUT It’’s only my opinion :)

Too blended

Heavy taste, spiced. Not a bad experience.

Etwas scharf Schokolade

Als Mixer gekauft und da tut er in einigen Cocktails guten Dienst. Pur für mich aber nichts besonderes
