Angostura 1824 Rum 750ml

Angostura 1824 is named for the year Dr. J.G.B. Siegert founded the House of Angostura, the bitters maker, not for an age. Older labels state that the rums are aged at least 12 years in charred ex-bourbon barrels, then hand-blended and re-casked; newer labels call it Founders Reserve 1824. It is a column-still molasses rum from Laventille, Trinidad, bottled at 40%.

It is fruity and dessert-like, with dried berry, banana, concentrated brown sugar and caramel, finishing on dry oak.

1824 is the top of the regular Angostura range: deeper and oakier than Angostura 1919. For a long-aged rum with more funk, compare Appleton Estate 12.

The producer suggests it neat or on the rocks. VinePair suggests serving it alongside dessert, and it is especially good with dark chocolate or a slice of fruitcake.
