Angostura 1787 15 Year Old Rum (700ml)

In 1776, Trinidad 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. Angostura celebrates this landmark period when Trinidad’s very first sugar mill was established at the Lapeyrouse Estate. It marked the island's inevitable climb to the heights of rum production. 40% Alc./Vol.
