Angostura '1919' Premium Rum 750ml
Rum
| Description: | Manufacturer's Notes: Finely distilled premium rum first casked in 1919. The Great Fire of 1932. Opportunity is often embedded in risk. In 1932 a great fire destroyed the Trinidad & Tobago Government Rum Bond. Joseph Bento Fernandes, master blender and owner of Fernandes Distillery, seized this opportunity and bought the charred casks of rum only then to discover that this rum has aged and matured magnificently. This prized rum was skillfully blended and called 1919 "Super" Premium Rum (1919 being the year the rum was casked). As expected, this rum was soon in great demand. This demand eventually spread overseas through a most interesting set of circumstances. Declaration of War. With the declaration of World War II in 1939, Trinidad & Tobago troops volunteered to serve on the battlefronts in Europe. The Company decided to send a bottle of 1919 "Super" Premium Rum on a regular basis to each of our airmen serving overseas. Through their generosity they soon came to share our rum with their foreign colleagues -- and thus our product become known in the wider world and our 1919 "Super" Premium Rum came to symbolise the spirit of Trinidad & Tobago. |
