The Event

Another month, another Rum Club, and I couldn’t wait to go back.

If you’ve never been to one of these, you should definitely check it out. Even if you don’t think you’re a fan of rum, it’s worth attending at least once. It doesn’t cost much, and you get to try a variety of brands and their rum. You never know, you might find yourself either absolutely hating the rum, but at least you can say you’ve tried it, or absolutely loving it and coming back for more, adding some rum to your drinks cabinet.

As for me, I’ve always loved rum, so I was eagerly anticipating tonight’s Rum Club.

A wee welcome cocktail to kick off the night.

Tonight’s rum was Angostura. I can’t recall if I’ve tried it in the past, given that I’ve sampled many different brands. However, part of me anticipated this to be a completely new experience, so I was eager to taste some of their rums.

We began by sampling the Angostura Seven Year Rum, which, for me, exhibited smoky, caramel-like notes. It didn’t have much of a burn to it, and I found it quite flavorful. This marked a promising start, and Angostura was now a brand on my radar.

The next rum was the Angostura 1919. After enjoying the first one, I wondered if this one could surpass it. For me, it had hints of leather and vanilla flavours, with a lighter and sharper profile. I found this one to be even more preferable than the first. I could have easily indulged in more of this. Thus, this one was leading the pack for me at this point.

After the fantastic 1919, could the next one be even better? This one was labeled as a 1787. It had a completely different flavor profile and was much smoother compared to the first two.

I couldn’t quite decide where to rank this one, but for me, the 1919 still stood out as the clear winner. However, I did enjoy this one as well, but so far, 1919 was still reigning supreme.

The final rum tonight was a Spiced Rum, which really caught my interest when I heard about it, as I’m a big fan of Spiced Rums due to my sweet tooth. There’s always room and time for a delightful Spiced Rum.

This one was a new addition to their lineup, called Tambu. The branding of this was exceptionally cool, with a carnival vibe to it. As you can see, it boasts a fun and funky label.

This one had delightful notes to it, and the taste, for me, was a blend of caramel and gingerbread. And, oh my god, this was the winner for me. I could have easily savoured this all night long, all week long.

Overall

Overall, it was another fantastic Rum Club experience. There were plenty of laughs, a wealth of information, and amazing tastings.

Tonight’s brand ambassador for Angostura was a delightful young woman named Anna, and it was a pleasure to meet her. If she’s reading this, I want to extend my gratitude for attending tonight and introducing me to what could potentially become one of my new favorite rums, the Spiced Rum featured tonight.

As I mentioned, if you’ve never attended one and you’re even slightly intrigued, I encourage you to click the link and check out the next event. Who knows, maybe I’ll see you there.
