    How does this rum taste?

    The Plantation Trinidad Mezcal Cask rum is a unique offering from the T.D.L distillery in Trinidad, bottled by Maison Ferrand. Distilled in 2016 from molasses and aged for seven years in a column still, this rum is notable for its mezcal cask finish. Its aroma is dominated by fruity and peachy notes with hints of sweetness, vegetal elements, and oak. The taste profile includes smoky and medicinal undertones, accented by black pepper and grassy notes. It is an intriguing choice for those seeking unusual finishes, with mixed feedback regarding its integration of mezcal influences and alcohol presence. Ideal for drinkers interested in experimental rums with exotic flair.

    A fine, exotic drop, in my opinion! A clear sticky note at the beginning, then something else on the finish, which must be the influence of the Mezcal cask. I'm already looking forward to the second tasting when the sample from Olivia arrives. On the other hand, a bottle is not expensive, you can't go wrong with the price ... Update 2023-11-28: The 2nd tasting confirms it: light but drinkable. A really successful mezcal experiment. Quite unlike the Calvados experiment released at the same time (still without a RumX number).

    The mezcal finish works surprisingly well - as expected, the rum turns spicy and smoky on the palate, but doesn't get lost in it. An interesting experiment that can certainly be described as a success.

    Quite interesting but overall too spicy and too young.

    The initial nose reminded me of an urinal puck. After some time it become some kind of Parfum, fruits and some vegetal notes. Overall it is quite fresh but I have to be honest that don’t recognise any Mezcal. Of course there are some nice aspects of this dram but nothing I haven’t seen somewhere else (and without the Mezcal finish). It is a decent but also kind of boring drop.
