Angostura 1824 12 Year Old Rum is a premium Trinidadian rum that reflects the distillery’s long-standing tradition of blending and cask ageing. Produced by House of Angostura, it is made from molasses-based rum that is matured for a minimum of 12 years in charred American oak barrels. After ageing, selected casks are blended together and charcoal-filtered before bottling, a process intended to refine the final spirit while maintaining consistency.
The name "1824" refers to the year the House of Angostura was founded, linking the rum to its historical origins. This expression sits in the upper tier of the range, with production focused on careful cask selection and blending rather than large-scale output. The approach reflects the distillery’s broader style, where balance and smoothness are prioritised, and where extended ageing is used to shape the structure of the rum without relying on additional flavouring or finishing techniques.
