House of Angostura, a Trinidad and Tobago-based distiller, has introduced its 15 year-old aged rum Angostura 1787 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The new product was launched by the company to commemorate the establishment of the first sugar mill in Trinidad, at the famous Lapeyrouse sugar plantation in 1787.

House of Angostura executive manager international sales and marketing Genevieve Jodhan said: “Angostura 1787 celebrates the history of a quintessentially Caribbean spirit, highlights the importance of rum in our history, and promotes the awareness of rum as the true spirit of Trinidad and Tobago.”

"Angostura 1787 celebrates the history of a quintessentially Caribbean spirit."

It stated that Angostura 1787 is made from a selection of rums carefully chosen from the House of Angostura's vast warehouses, each of which has been ageing for 15 years in charred oak barrels.

The company also claimed that the Angostura 1787 complements the tradition of excellence established by the House of Angostura about two centuries ago, combining traditional ageing skills with contemporary blending expertise.

Angostura 1787 contains banana, dried fruit and oak, and is reported to have notes of apples, and carry a hint of dried prunes and sweet rounded oak notes, entwined with toffee nuances, with a long, crisp finish.

Angostura 1787 Rum is the latest addition to the House of Angostura's family of premium rums, a range which includes Angostura 7 Year Old Rum, Angostura 1919 and Angostura 1824.

The new product is presented in a heavy, rounded bottle with a thick glass base, emblazoned with the signature of JGB Seigert, the founder of Angostura.
