Trois Frères Distillery Takamaka PTI Lakaz

8:On the nose, the first impression is toasted oak, then dried apricot and cocoa, toffee with clove and other sweet spices and an anise. It is dry as the second nose is smoky with caramel, vanilla and tropical fruits. Certainly it is a nice combination of Bajan and Seychelles rum, where the first is a bit stronger. 7,9:On the palate, the attack is dry and woody, toasted with dried apricot, anise, dried fruits, cocoa, and nutmeg. As we could also taste some cherry, butterscotch, molasses with liquorice as it is a bit chocolatey. There are confectionery notes with biscuits, cake. Nice and tasty. 7,8:The finish is long with toasted wood, dry, fruity and spicy... Edit 12.10.25

Bottle Market Bremen October 2024 A delicious Takamaka, I would not have thought. Nice notes of vanilla and caramel on the nose. Also vanilla and caramel on the palate, with a hint of coffee. I am positively surprised.

Tasted this rum at the Sweden Rum Fest in Stockholm. The Pti Lakaz is a blend of around 2yo cane juice rum aged in ruby port casks and French oak casks, molasses rum aged for 3 years in ex-bourbon casks and 8yo molasses rum from Foursquare. In nose and at the palate it’s woody, fruity, spicy with some sweetness and scents and flavors of pineapple, vanilla, caramel, coffee, chocolate and cocoa. The finish is medium long.

A complex blend of pot and column still, aged in port and bourbon barrels and finally blended with Foursquare rum. Very nice nose, directly reminiscent of Barbados rum, which I rate 8+. However, the mouthfeel is a little too thin, as there is a noticeable alcoholic sharpness.

The rum is said to have been blended with Foursquare. In any case, the Barbados markers are present on the nose, with sweet spices (nutmeg), gourmet coconut, exotic fruit (pineapple), dried fruit, caramel and a lightly toasted woodiness. It's almost hard to find the Seychelles identity in this blend. At first, the palate is rather bland. There's an unpleasant bitterness, noticeable dilution and, despite everything, a touch of alcohol that throws the whole thing off balance. After aeration, the juice becomes more aromatic, with fruit (banana, coconut), cocoa, coffee, caramel and melted wood. The finish brings a touch of freshness with fruit, before falling back to spices, wood and caramel. A rather simplistic profile, not bad but struggling to create its own identity.

Easy-drinking rum, soft, pleasant nose Brown sugar, papaya/guava fruitiness, light woodiness. The taste corresponds well to the nose, lightly woody/ toasted caramel vanilla evolving towards a certain dryness. Pleasant but not very long.

The nose is warm and full-bodied, woody (barrel,leather), sweet (burnt sugar) and with fruity (tropical) esters in the foreground, then coffee, cocoa and a thread of solvent and tobacco. Magnificent. The palate retains all the scents perceived on the nose in a syrupy texture, where peppery and floral notes are added. The nose is better than the palate, which loses a bit in dilution and the medium-short finish. Interesting nonetheless, personally the distillery's best. In the empty glass light esters and wood

It’s a very nice expression. Recommended.

Nice easy drinking

Surprisingly complex, fruity and tobacco notes.
