An impressive rum from Angostura, crafted using the Trinidadian distillery's continuous multi-column still and matured in charred bourbon casks. This blend, commemorating a historic creation by the Fernandes family in the 1800s, combines rums aged between five and 14 years. The name 1919 honours a piece of Trinidadian rum history—following a devastating fire at the government rum bond in 1932, hundreds of charred casks of the Fernandes family's blended rum, filled in 1919, were salvaged from the ashes, resulting in a batch reputed to have been exquisite. The aroma is rich and spiced with notes of cola, toasty oak, vanilla spice, caramel, and a hint of ginger and molasses. The palate is juicy and sweet, featuring allspice, caramel, creamy vanilla, and molasses. It finishes with a rounded and spiced vanilla cream.
