Angostura Rum

We had an impromptu tasting session of 5 bottles of Angostura rum. Placed side by side, the nose, flavors and taste are easily compared in one fell swoop. We're able to discern the different layers and pick out the ones we like best.

It's quite exciting. Very different from the single malts. Not as complex, but by no means simple. Rum feels so warm in the stomach!

Rum is one of the most versatile forms of alcohol to lend flavors to really cool cocktails. I'm not really a cocktail person. So I really like my rum dark and on the rocks. That milk chocolate taste is very easily savored.

I wonder if premium rum will receive a warm reception in Singapore the way single malts have.
