Legacy by Angostura

Individually hand-made by master craftsmen from ten separate trades, the design of the Legacy by Angostura crystal decanter is inspired by an original 1930s art deco decanter created by Asprey of London ( Jewellers to the Prince of Wales) and Angostura's 1824 and 1919 bottles. Each decanter is signed by Asprey, crowned by a sterling silver finial in the shape of a butterfly on sugar cane-in-arrow (the motif of this rum), and presented in a hand-made wooden case, lined with silk and velvet and covered with soft Asprey Ascot Red calf leather.

Appearance: Deep mahogany with copper hues and golden highlights. Several semi-viscous legs form thin bars on the side of the glass before turning into a rim of slowly moving droplets.

Nose: Sweet lavender aroma first hits the nose with rounded vanilla and dark fruit. Behind the floral curtain are rich caramel, coconut, and underlying licorice notes revealed.

Taste: The Angostura Legacy has a well-balanced, lightly fruity entrance with caramelized orange and thick, slightly oily mouthfeel typical of Trinidadian rums. Dried sultanas, toffee, and sweet rounded oak notes entwined with rich coffee flavors.

After Taste: A chest warming and a medium to long aftertaste of great vanilla, floral notes, and plenty of coffee, lingering on the tongue remain lightly honeyed notes as creamy vanilla coats the entire mouth and hints of sweet orange gently rise to the roof of the mouth as the final finish.

Final Thoughts: Angostura Legacy is a beautifully crafted and exceptionally smooth Trinidadian rum, offering a complex array of harmoniously balanced aromas and flavors.
