    How does this rum taste?

    The Trinidad Rum CZ&SK, crafted at T.D.L distillery and bottled by Albert Michler, is an 18-year-old molasses-based rum distilled in 2002. With a high ABV of 64.2% and limited to 271 bottles, it’s celebrated for its complex nose of vanilla, tropical fruits, and subtle woody notes. The palate reveals fruity and chemical elements with woody and caramel undertones, capped by a warm, minty finish. While some praise its fruity complexity and smooth transitions, others find its profile too chemically sharp, noting hints of synthetic varnish. Its limited release makes it a sought-after choice for Trinidad rum aficionados, especially those appreciating a bold, cask-strength experience.

    19.03.2022 A nice evening planned by a friend of mine at this wonderful location. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light wood, honey, light medicinal, light varnish, herbs, light mint, light apple. Palate Fresh, light wood, mint, varnish, light medicinal, herbs, fruity, faint nutts. Finish Long and warm, light wood, mint, light herbs, light medicinal, light nutts.

    👃 is very harsh for me even after sitting in for good 15-20 minutes. Mostly it is synthetic, alcohol, paint thinners and wood but somewhere in the distance there is vanilla and chocolate, typical angostura nose but this time kind of harsh and alcoholic. 👅 Is also kind of chemical, synthetic and surprisingly enough a little bit fruity and minty too. I like mint but it is not very prominent in this one. After some time the vegetal notes are coming up front in the long finish. There are some notes that remind me (for me) very bad scotch such as Johnie Walker Red Label and its malt and grain. This taste however is mixing up with the mint in the finish so it is not that bad but I am not a huge fan of this rum. I will retaste however maybe the taste will change after different meal.

    TDL is my favorite location and this one is really good. And also one of best release by Albert Michler.

    The first sip ate my hair, but then it became clearer and the taste of fruit and rubber developed
