Angostura White Oak Rum (75cl, 40%)

Angostura White Oak Rum is a charcoal-filtered white rum from Trinidad and Tobago, aged a minimum of three years before double charcoal filtration strips the colour while preserving depth. Angostura Limited has operated in Trinidad and Tobago for over 190 years. The rum is fermented and distilled from sugar cane molasses, matured in oak, then twice filtered through charcoal. The nose leads with exotic tropical fruit, burnt banana, pineapple and coconut, with faint charcoal and light vanilla. The palate is round and medium-bodied with a dryish lean, carrying coconut and molasses, then plantain, burnt sugar, apple and gentle citrus brightness. The finish is quick and clean, with hot pepper and burnt spice fading into delicate warmth and gentle sweetness.
