Angostura 5 Year Rum 750ml

Angostura 5 Year is a blend of light and heavy molasses rums, each aged at least five years in ex-bourbon barrels. It is made at the House of Angostura in Laventille, Trinidad, in column stills, and bottled at 40%.

It is warm and easygoing, with chocolate, vanilla, baking spice and toasted oak.

For under $25, it is a well-priced aged rum for mixing. It is a step richer than the white Angostura White Oak; for a smoother sipper, move up to Angostura 7 Year.

The producer suggests it in a Mai Tai or a highball. Try two ounces with ginger beer and lime over ice, or with cola and a dash of Angostura bitters, which brings out the spice. It also makes a sturdy rum punch with lime and pineapple.

The full Angostura range, from 1919 to 1824, and more aged rums are under rum. Pick it up at our Brooklyn store or get same-day delivery across NYC.
