The Angostura 1919 Premium Gold Rum Deluxe Aged Blend 40% Vol. 0.7 l + GB is an authentic rum from Trinidad, produced entirely on the island - from sugar cane cultivation to the final bottling. This rum matures for at least eight years in ex-bourbon barrels, whose influence is responsible for its soft structure, warm color and complex aroma. The name "1919" recalls a historic event in the early 1930s: a devastating fire destroyed most of the rum barrels stored in the Government Rum Bond. A few barrels survived the fire and contained rum from the 1919 cask bottling. These rare stocks became the inspiration for today's bottling, which pays homage to this extraordinary time.
Presented in an elegant gift box, Angostura 1919 is a classic premium gold rum that impresses with its amber-colored clarity, creamy structure and balanced taste. The combination of the Caribbean climate, careful barrel selection and the long experience of the Angostura Distillery results in a long-lasting, harmonious profile that cuts an excellent figure both neat and in sophisticated cocktails.
