    How does this rum taste?

    The "Sea and Sun" rum, released by Les Grands Alambics, hails from Trinidad and features a unique profile distilled from molasses. Aged for 22 years and bottled at cask strength with 52.9% ABV, this limited edition rum is recognized for its green apple and ester aromas, leading to peppery, vanilla, and whisky-like flavors. Drinkers note its resemblance to whisky, with well-integrated alcohol that gives it a distinct and atypical character. Despite its refined balance, some users find it lacks traditional warmth and depth, with an overly present alcoholic note. This rum appeals to those exploring diverse profiles beyond conventional rum standards.

    Nez caramel, boisé et avec des esters. Une pointe d'acidité type pomme verte. La bouche est différente avec des notes boisées et torréfiées. De la vanille. Du poivre. Une sensation de whisky presque. Malheureusement, alcool très présent et pas très bien intégré. Finale sur des notes de caramel et de café. Pas mauvais. Mais j'en attendais plus. Dommage.

    Belle robe or. Un nez fruité (côté verger plutôt que tropical) et frais. Une noix fraîche. Des herbes. Il lui faut du temps. La bouche est dans la même lignée. Plutôt léger, il rappelle un whisky plutôt jeune. Il semble presque aqueux. Final moyen à courte. Profil pas très chaleureux. Pas très à mon goût...

    Bon TDL mais sans les marqueurs habituels, tourné vers le Whisky. Loin d’être extravagant, beaucoup de poivre et de pomme selon moi.

    Un trinidad très fumé.. On a l'impression de goûter un whisky.. Alcool super intégré
