Angostura 1919 is more than a premium aged rum, it’s a tribute to resilience. After a fire destroyed the government rum warehouse in 1932, a cache of charred 1919 aged casks was discovered and blended into what became a legend. Today’s version honors that legacy with a smooth, golden rum aged in bourbon barrels and crafted for sipping in style.
