<p>In 1776, Trinidad, then a colony of Spain, finally opened its shores to the French planters of the Eastern Caribbean islands. It was the beginning of the transformation of Trinidad from a Spanish backwater to the newest sugar plantation frontier.</p><p>The year 1787, the milestone which Angostura® 1787 rum celebrates, was a landmark period as it was then that Trinidad’s very first sugar mill was established at the Lapeyrouse Estate.</p><p>This marked Trinidad’s inevitable climb to the heights of fine rum production. During the 17th and 18th centuries, planters preferred European imported drinks; by the end of the 18th century rum had become universally popular. An exquisite sipping rum, Angostura® 1787 commemorates the establishment of the country’s first sugar mill.</p><p>It is this blending legacy that Angostura® is keeping alive with the exquisite homage that is Angostura® 1787 rum. A rich bounty, not just the golden crystals of sugar, but that fascinating new spirit, rum, distilled from its secondary product, molasses.</p><h4>Tasting Notes</h4><p><strong>COLOUR</strong>&nbsp;</p><p>Rich mahogany with bronze highlights.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>NOSE</strong>&nbsp;</p><p>A sweet bouquet of banana, dried fruit and oak with top notes of apples.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>TASTE</strong>&nbsp;</p><p>Well balanced, a medium bodied palate with hints of dried prunes and sweet rounded oak notes entwined with toffee nuances.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>FINISH&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;</p><p>Long and crisp.&nbsp;</p>
