Angostura 5 Year Rum

This is my first review of rum. As it seemed to me, this is not the worst version of this drink. Something in between. Aged in American oak barrels from bourbon for 5 years. The aroma is generally more pleasant than the taste. There are sweet notes of caramel, maybe vanilla, a little spice. Nice smell. The taste is somewhat harsh, but tolerable. Alcoholism is still a little felt. A barrel, spices, perhaps flowers or some fruit, some bitterness, in the background caramel. The softness here is very well hidden somewhere. The oiliness is also very slight. Bought in the hypermarket "Tvoy dom".

The bourbon barrel influence definitely plays into the taste, while caramel is dominant on the nose, strong elements of vanilla and oak are present on the palate with a short finish. I get some level of minerality that reminds me of beach sand. Sweet notes are not dominant but are present. Sippable but would do well in a cocktail. Cost is for 1.5 oz.

Quite a strong french oak nose, medium spice, vanilla, cinnamon as expected with a hint of pear. Short length best suited as a mixer in my opinion.

Not bad. Not as good as bacardi gold.
