Tasting
The nose is smooth and inviting. Caramel and vanilla lead, with toasted oak and gentle spice adding warmth. It's the kind of nose that immediately puts you at ease.
The palate is smooth and voluptuous — Angostura's house style is well-represented. Caramel and vanilla form the backbone, toasted oak adds structure, and gentle baking spice provides interest. The character is rounded and well-aged, showing genuine maturity for the price point.
The finish is medium with caramel, oak, and a warm, clean close.
The Bottom Line
At £25.25 for a seven-year-old rum, Angostura 7 is one of the best value propositions in aged rum. It delivers genuine quality and maturity at a price that makes it an everyday sipper without guilt. Mix it, sip it, enjoy it — at this price, you can do all three.
