How does this rum taste?
- Distinctive minty and smoky nose
- Rare limited release
- Unusual complexity with earthy notes
Samaroli's Trinidad Rum, distilled in 1999 and aged for 22 years, offers a sophisticated nose with mint, rubber, and woody aromas. With only 267 bottles produced, it's a rare delight for collectors. The palate presents a minty and vanilla blend with grassy undertones, although some users find it slightly diluted. Notably, the hint of burnt sugar and roasted notes adds complexity, while its smooth, earthy finish appeals to those who enjoy a milder rum experience. While some appreciate its unique character, others note it lacks robustness compared to higher-proof expressions, impacting its value perception. Its sophisticated nose and austere palate make it a notable choice for connoisseurs seeking an unusual addition to their collection.

"Not too bad but would have loved a higher ABV."
"Samaroli is always such a thing for me, often the PLV doesn't really fit, but they are usually pretty to look at; I just don't really care 😉, it should taste good. Let's see... Nose: intense, sweet-fruity and spicy. I got lime and grapefruit with a slightly artificial sweetness of orange syrup. All accompanied by soap and an apple-vinegar note. There is also something subtly smoky from burnt sugar. There is also some mint hidden behind the vinegar. Palate: somewhat restrained at first, almost thin. Starts off a little musty, but then turns into something slightly fruity and spicy. There's lime zest and old mint with mown grass. But everything is somehow dull and earthy. The salty-minty lime freshness alone is quite appealing. The nose promised more."
"I am positively surprised! Very tasty rum with ... yes: a distinct cannabis note! 😋😋😳🤣 Reminds me a lot of the One Time Limited Trinidad from Plantation. But it only cost a third of the price ... 🙄 Because of the unfavorable PLV, this great rum unfortunately only gets 85 points, otherwise it would have been 89."
"The nose is not bad at all! On the palate, unfortunately, little body, short finish, alcoholic, slight smoky whisky notes. I could imagine that it was aged in a whisky cask."
