Angostura Rum 7yo 0.7L

A seven-year-old rum from the Caribbean island of Trinidad that comes with body and spice. Many know Angostura as the manufacturer of Angostura Bitters, which are found in almost every bar. The house was founded in 1824 and is now based in Trinidad and Tobago, where this rum is also produced. The 7yo is aimed at those who prefer their rum with weight rather than lightness.

The nose features warm, spicy notes of maple syrup and chocolate, plus a delicate smoky tone. The smoke remains subtle and settles under the chocolate note without overpowering it. On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful: the sweetness of the maple syrup meets fine roasted and spicy notes that carry through to the finish.

Recommendation: neat or with an ice cube in a tumbler, served at room temperature, perhaps to end an evening. In an Old Fashioned or Rum Manhattan, its spice holds its own. Pairs well with dark chocolate or roasted nuts.
