Nobilis Fernandes No.41

"GRF13: This is a heavy, very intense TDL. While some fruit is still perceptible on the nose, it increasingly disappears, as does the fresh minty note. Instead, a spicy, roasted profile emerges. The alcohol is not perfectly integrated. A good, but not first-class TDL"

"This rum needs a good airing before tasting. Quite a fan of tdl, I really liked this profile! The thing that surprised me was the integration of the alcohol, which never takes over the taste. There are far fewer fruity notes than in some younger tdl's, but the ageing process has done a fine job on the toasted/woody/burnt sugar notes, with a nice evolution towards a garage feel. This suits me more than well."

"Zur Feier des Adventskalenderkill darf es dann noch ein anständiger Rum sein In der Nase haben wir hier Minze und Frucht, sehr medizinisch das Ganze. Am Gaumen haben wir dann viel Minze sowie etwas Holz und Schokolade."

"#4609 10.02.2024 tasting event at the Nobilis Warehouse, Haderslev. Nose Light wood, faint roasted, medium fruity, mint, light caramel, medicinal. Palate Wood, light roasted, tannins, medium fruity, medium dry, anise, mint. Finish Medium to long, wood, tannins, mint, faint tar, dry, raisin."

"Brought as a small sample from the 13th GRF, I'm only now getting around to tasting this beautiful, ripe TDL ... Nose: very interesting and unexpectedly different for a rum from Trinidad. Restrained and yet complex. It smells really old: old cardboard, old tobacco and dried mushrooms. It is also herbal and spicy with dried mint and fennel. The mint gives it a certain freshness. Something different, I like it, 8.9 Palate: ripe and full-bodied, yet smooth. The mint is very intense here, but quickly turns into something bacony and roasted. The sharp mint goes together with the fat sweetness of tonka beans. The finish is salty and woody, almost metallic. The alcohol is present, but doesn't bother me at all. A multi-layered and somewhat different Trinidad, I like it very much. 8.9"

"Nobilis Fernandes 1999 65,5. long finish, very astringent."

"Der Alkohol ist leider nicht gut eingebunden. Der hätte sicherlich mehr Zeit im Glas gebraucht. Eher würziges Profil mit feiner Fruchtnote und angenehmer Süße. Müsste ich nochmal in Ruhe ein zweites Mal probieren"

"While the nose is still quite restrained and medicinal, alcoholic and rather less inviting, the taste improves with beautiful notes of menthol, tar, dried fruits, citrus fruits and slightly burnt notes. A good representative of the FPH Marks, albeit somewhat unbalanced and very astringent on the finish."

"Tasted @ Salon du Rhum 2024 and at Stijn's place. Every time I taste this TDL Fernandes from Nobilis, I'm fallig in love again. This is exactly what I need from a TDL. Beautiful and super tasty rum. Would love to have a full bottle of this juice. Highly recommended!"

"Tasted this at The Road Rummers supertasting and gave this a second place. Then tasted it again at Salon Du Rhum and then I knew I had to get me a bottle! This not your typical Trinidad and that's why I think you get mixed reviews. But I like this one alot. It gives you Trinidad with a pleasent caramel sweetness. Lacks a strong nose but the long finish makes up for it. The alcohol is so well integrated that makes this such a nice rum tot drink. Maybe not that complex but I'm sticking to my score."

"14-04-2025 Rate 8.8 I really enjoys this Nobilis rum. The keep their high standard. Always excited to taste new releases from Nobilis. Have leather and fruits in the nose. With a hint of oak and pepper. Taste again leather and some citrus. With the oak in the background. 04-04-2025 - Rate 8.8 My first Fernandes. And what a rum. Not as good as Nobilis TDL Cactus rum but hope to taste more Fernandes in the future. Notes of rubber and leather."

"GRF13 Macht spaß, dezente süße. Leider recht adstringierend"

"Nase lecker, leicht, Holzwürze, Honig- oder Fruchtsüße, bissel Rauch, braucht Zeit, sehr vielversprechend; Zunge ähnlich wie Nase, leicht bissig, aber lecker, alles drin, da reicht nen Teopfen auf der Zunge um Spaß zu haben, langer leckerer Abgang"

"Schön"

"Excellent rum. Fantastic taste. High percentage, but still well integrated. Definitely recommend."
