Comments:

I was slightly puzzled that the distillery was noted as Fernandes Distillery as I was fairly sure from my research that Angostura bought the distillery back in 1973.  The distillery was/is situated next door.  There is no mention of Angostura on the bottle.  It is also interesting that the importer of this rum is a different one to the 1919 importer (CL World Brands, Glasgow, Scotland).  The best conclusion I can come from this is that both Angostura and importers are keeping the brands separate (for the good of both I suspect).

The appearance of the rum suggests this is an entry level mixing rum.  In both the Fernandes and Angostura distillery this rum is indeed the cheapest and thus their entry level offering. It’s the usual bar style bottle with a slightly bulbous head leading to the standard screw cap.  The overall presentation of the rum is so-so.  Both the rear and front label do however give some information regarding the rum held within
