How does this rum taste?
Takamaka PTI Lakaz is an intriguing blend of pot and column still-distilled spirits from Seychelles, aged in Port and Bourbon casks and finished with a Foursquare rum infusion. Its aroma is rich with caramel, woody, and vanilla notes, leading to a palate layered with young wood, coffee, and caramel flavors. While the nose receives high praise for its complexity and warmth, the taste slightly lacks in fullness, showing a medium-short finish with peppery and floral undertones. This rum is recognized for its pleasant nose and versatile profile but may seem a bit diluted on the palate. It’s a commendable offering from Trois Frères Distillery, appealing to those who enjoy a blend of tropical and spiced elements.

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....
Ein komplexer Blend aus Pot und Column Still, gelagert in Portwein- und Bourbonfässer und letztendlich mit Foursquare-Rum geblendet. Sehr schöne Nase, die direkt an Barbadosrum erinnert und ich mit 8+ bewerte. Allerdings hinkt das zu dünne Mundgefühl etwas, da eine alkoholische Schärfe zu spüren ist.
Bottle Market Bremen Oktober 2024. Ein leckerer Takamaka, hätte ich nicht gedacht. Schöne Noten von Vanille und Karamell in der Nase. Am Gaumen ebenfalls Vanille und Karamell, außerdem lässt sich etwas Kaffee erkennen. Bin positiv überrascht.
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.
