I don't know how sour it is supposed to be but I think 2cl of lime juice is too much. The vanilla really comes out of this cocktail. If you have any tips how to improve this cocktail or any other recipes for Angostura 1919 I would appreciate them.

I haven't tried your cocktail suggestion for the 1919 but it sounds intriguing and I will no doubt try it soon enough. I will post the experience here once I've done so. I usually don't mix premium rums with anything though. Most of them should be sipped neat. It has been a long time since I last sipped 1824 but I don't remember it having any of these floral tones. I usually drink rum from a straight sided glass because in a snifter the aromas become too strong, also my nose is too big for that kind of a glass ;) I recently posted a review of Angostura 1919 at refinedvices.com
