Angostura No. 1 Once Used French Oak is the first Angostura rum
finished in Cognac casks
Angostura No. 1 Once Used French Oak is
the second edition in The Cask Collection and is the brand’s first rum aged in
French oak casks. The rum is made up of liquid aged for a
minimum of 10 years in American oak casks. This rum was then blended and
matured for a further six years in French oak casks that once held Cognac.
“The Cask Collection limited edition
range is a celebration of the House of Angostura’s rich heritage and artistry
in blending some of the world’s finest rums,” said the brand’s master distiller
John Georges. “We’re thrilled to share the second
edition to the range – No. 1 Once Used French Oak – with rum aficionados and enthusiasts
worldwide to show that the craft of rum‐making
has no boundaries.”
Described as having a flavor of peach,
candied apricot, almonds and oak, Angostura No. 1 Once Used French Oak has been
bottled at 40% abv. Around 15,000 bottles will be available
in Europe, the Caribbean, Australia and the US this autumn.
I'm really glad to see the Angostura No. 1 brand coming back. The last edition was absolutely flavorful and a favorite of so many of my customers at the Rum Bar in Key West. As soon as this one becomes available, It will be on the shelf for your enjoyment.
