    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love its gourmand side: milk chocolate, caramel and vanilla over roasted wood, coffee and nougat. At 62% cask strength, many find it surprisingly smooth with a medium-long, woody finish. Some note alcohol heat and less of TDL’s minty-fruity freshness. Backed by 46 reviews and rising trust on RumX, this chocolate-forward Trinidad offers a distinctive, sweet-leaning profile to explore.

    #4581 26-27.01.2024 Hanse Spirit This was yet another nice surprise from this bottler. Nose Wood, roasted, sweet, medium fruity. Palate Wood, roasted, light smoke, light caramel, faint nougat, light mint, fruits. Finish Medium to long, wood, roasted, dried fruit, light mint, faint chocolate.

    Solider, seichter TDL. Könnte blind auch spanischer Stil sein. Alkohol nicht ganz perfekt integriert.

    Creamy on the palate with milk chocolate, vanilla and wood. There are also some artificial fruits akin to those in energy drinks. Somewhat unique… 🤔

    Crazy wie intensiv dieser Rum nach Erdnussbutter, Zimt, Datteln und Milchschokolade riecht. Fast schon wie ein gesunder Energy Ball🤣 der Gaumen ist ebenfalls ungewöhnlich süß gehalten, von der sonst für Trinidad typischen Minze ist hier kaum bis nichts zu finden. Dafür wieder fette, ölige chunky Erdnussbutter mit Stückchen, Zimt, Milchschokolade , getrocknete Aprikose, Nougat und k Karamell. Leider aber auch eher unangenehm alkoholisch, daher leichte Abzüge.
