Angostura '1787' 15 Year Old Rum
- Dark Rum
- Trinidad & Tobago, 700ml
Angostura ‘1787’ is an ultra-premium Trinidadian rum that honours a pivotal year in the island’s sugarcane story: 1787, when the first sugar mill was established at Lapeyrouse Estate. Expertly blended from rums aged at least 15 years in oak, it shows a deep mahogany glow and a poised, luxurious profile—treacle, honey and vanilla layered with warm spice and polished oak. Crafted by the House of Angostura, it’s an elegant sipping rum with undeniable gifting appeal.
Tasting Notes & Experience
Rich mahogany with bronze highlights. Aromas of banana, dried fruits and oak with top notes of apple. Medium-bodied and beautifully balanced: prunes, toffee and rounded oak with hints of tropical sweetness. A long, smooth, crisp finish lingers with warm spice and gentle vanilla.
