The Art of Angostura Tasting

Tips for Tasting Angostura Like a Pro

To fully appreciate the nuances of Angostura rums, consider the following steps:

1. Use the Right Glass: Opt for a tulip-shaped glass to concentrate the aromas, allowing for a more focused tasting experience.
   

2. Observe the Color: Hold the glass against a white background to assess the rum's clarity and depth of color, which can indicate its age and cask influence.
   

3. Swirl Gently: Swirling the rum releases its volatile compounds, enhancing the olfactory experience. Be gentle to avoid spilling.
   

4. Nose First: Inhale deeply to identify primary aromas such as vanilla, caramel, or dried fruits. This step prepares your palate for the tasting.
   

5. Taste Methodically: Take a small sip and let the rum coat your palate. Note the initial flavors, mid-palate complexity, and the finish. Angostura rums often reveal layers of flavor, from sweet vanilla to spicy oak.
   

6. Add a Drop of Water: A tiny splash can open up the rum, revealing hidden notes and softening alcohol intensity.
   

7. Cleanse Between Tastings: Use plain water or neutral crackers to cleanse your palate between different expressions to maintain tasting accuracy.
