Thanks for the review @eliteeliteauto wrote:Don't know if you bought it already but I was invited to a tasting at Solera and found it harsh, definitely not for sipping neat, would have to use in cocktails or mixed. I wouldn't buy but would keep a free bottle in the cupboard for at least 10 years before revisiting. Do like the bottle and label thoughviedcht wrote:angostura site have nothing worthy enough to call information I dunno what so secretive.
Anybody try this as yet? Saw solera/ 'stura got it for 260.00 want to stock a bottle or two for xmas visitors, any reviews welcomed

Sometimes the master distiller cut-off points off and some of the 'heads' or 'tails' taint the alco. Leaving it for some time can let evaporation remove unsavoury odours and tastes. Though minimal it can have a change compared to first impression. And knowing angostura they probably always squeezing out the most from distillationDe Dragon wrote:eliteauto wrote:Don't know if you bought it already but I was invited to a tasting at Solera and found it harsh, definitely not for sipping neat, would have to use in cocktails or mixed.

Good info - so the bottle was checked -
It does indeed say 100 % agave - only thing it doesn’t specify is the variety of agave used …lol
Will load up pics -….. soon

Enjoy!
Not a big wine enthusiast, but If you and the squad not purists, get a good pocket friendly prosecco (Naughty Grape have a somm that can help) and maybe add a slug of madiera. But for first tasting just the bubbly could work. Expect any prosecco/sparklies available down here to be reputable, can't go wrongeliteauto wrote:Anyone here into wine? Looking for a nice sparkling wine for next weekend What's your favorite Prosecco or Cava?

Then realise it shouldn't.
Imagine Angostura scorn it enough to sell it out. The thing is, they blending it with other distilleries eh, not only caroni. Most rum sommeliers say they get burnt rubber and diesel and burnt bramble, along some other bad and good flavours. I dunno if it was poorly stored in caroni daystriniterribletim wrote:viedcht wrote:Google 'caroni rum prices'. Tell mih if it offends you.

Didn't that Italian dude buy it almost sight unseen at a rock bottom price after getting like one sample because he knew the actual value of what was there and made out like Ali Baba.
