Angostura 15 Year Old "1787"
Angostura's 15 Year Old "1787" rum, launched in the latter half of 2016, presents a dark hue with a substantial flavour profile characterised by dried fruit, toasted oak, and robust spice. This distinguished Trinidadian rum is particularly suitable for sipping neat. The name commemorates the year the first sugar mill was established at the Lapeyrouse Estate. The aroma reveals notes of apricot pastries, rum-soaked sultanas, and a pronounced hint of cinnamon bark. On the palate, a softly charred oak smokiness is initially prominent, quickly mellowed by the richness of additional dried fruit. The aftertaste features honey, crunchy brown sugar, and a subtle suggestion of new leather.
Sunset Captain Bligh XO
An XO rum hailing from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, distilled from molasses using a modern two-column still, and diluted to 87.5% before aging for approximately a decade in first-fill Kentucky bourbon barrels. This rum has garnered numerous gold awards at various rum festivals. The scent profile reveals light caramel, brown sugar, creamy vanilla, coconut milk, and a hint of freshly cut grass. On tasting, the rum presents a predominantly smooth experience with notes of oak and vanilla, though it retains some rugged edges. The aftertaste is dry with hints of coconut flesh. Overall, this rum offers a splendid bourbon barrel-matured profile.
