This is the third

entirely dedicated to rums matured in different types of casks. "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

Bottled at 40%
and the first rum that Angostura has matured in sherry casks, Angostura Cask
Collection No. 1 Oloroso Sherry has been created with a fusion of techniques
learned from the Old World and perfected in the New World. This silky smooth,
complex rum is a beautiful amber with superb clarity. Warm, rounded aromas and
a delicate nose of cocoa, molasses, oak and sweet prune inform the well-rounded
blend, which offers flavors of woodiness, roasted nuts and hints of sherry, and
a medium rounded and oaky finish.
"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, the blend of aged rums was finished for nine
more months in Oloroso Sherry Casks."
