Angostura has expanded its Cast Collection of premium spirits by introducing a limited edition rum, which is matured in sherry casks.
16,200 bottles of Angostura No. 1 Oloroso Sherry will be released in markets such as Australia, France, Russia, the UK and most European Union countries.
This is the third rum released as part of the Angostura Cask Collection, and is the first rum produced by the brand which has been matured in sherry casks.
The 40% ABV drink boats warm, rounded aromas and a delicate nose of cocoa, molasses, oak and sweet prune, and has a woody flavour with a hint of sherry and roasted nuts.
Angostura’s CEO Genevieve Jodhan said: “Angostura Cask Collection No.1 Oloroso Sherry is a masterwork, a one-of-a-kind rum that reaches the highest achievement in the rum world – an exquisite roundness and smoothness without sacrificing personality.”
Angostura’s marketing executive Natasha Mustapha Scott added: “The House of Angostura has been experimenting with ageing rum in different types of casks and techniques for many years, but this is the first time we have used Oloroso Sherry Casks to mature one of our rums.
“We wanted to explore the results of a rum aged in American oak with extended time in an Oloroso Sherry Cask – in this case the blend of aged rums was finished for nine more months in Oloroso Sherry Casks.”
