Angostura 7 Year Old Caribbean Rum 70cl

Big Caribbean rum flavour, no babysitting needed. This Angostura is aged 7 years in oak, which means you get layers, not just sweetness. Think toffee, vanilla, spice, and that lightly charred wood note that makes classic rum cocktails taste like you meant it.

It’s made in Trinidad and Tobago, and it drinks like it knows what it’s doing. The age gives it structure, so it holds up in mixed drinks instead of disappearing under cola, citrus, or bitters.

• Nose: Molasses, vanilla, toasted oak, baking spices, a hint of orange peel
• Taste: Toffee and brown sugar up front, then dried fruit (raisins, date), cocoa, and warming spice
• Finish: Medium-long, with oak, caramel, and a gentle peppery tingle that keeps things interesting

If you’re building a home bar, this is the kind of aged rum that earns its shelf space because it’s versatile. It levels up a Rum Old Fashioned, gives a Daiquiri more depth, and makes a Cuba Libre taste way less like a soft drink.

And when you want to geek out a little, it’s also a great reference point for what oak ageing does to rum, it adds dried fruit richness, rounds out the edges, and brings that toasty spice you can’t fake.

Fun Fact: Angostura’s story starts with Dr. Johann Siegert, who created the famous Angostura bitters in the 1820s, long before the distillery became a rum heavyweight.
