Tasting Notes
"In the glass, the rum is dark amber in hue. The nose is light, offering slight hints of vanilla. The rum enters the palate with a brief flash of moderate sweetness and vanilla before transitioning to a dry, toasted oak finish. At the very end is a bit of custard. The Angostura is a respectable entry-level sipper as well as a solid base for cocktails calling for dry, vanilla-forward rums."
