How does this rum taste?
Delias Tropical Rum Cat from Trinidad offers a complex blend of flavors, distilled from molasses at the T.D.L distillery, and aged for 17 years. Bottled at cask strength with a robust 60% ABV, this limited release of 360 bottles delivers notes of toastiness, nutty caramel, and milk chocolate on the nose, while the palate reveals woody, spicy, and roasted flavors with hints of fruitiness. User impressions suggest a moderate sweetness, reminiscent of bourbon-like elements, though opinions on its complexity and natural attributes vary.

The surprise of the tasting evening. Initially disappointingly ordinary and somewhat pungent on the nose, the rum develops more and more into a smooth distillate with strong hints of mint chocolate, especially on the palate. For me, the best TDL of the mixed 2006 vintage. Very well done, Delia!
It tastes like bkend of weak TDL and Rumbullion! rum = definitely infused and lightly sweetened. So I do t believe it is pure distilate...
8:On the nose, the first impression we get is minty, woody, as it is roasted, toasted with nuts, caramel.The molasses is vegetal.There are pleasant bourbon yellow fruits. On aeration, the wood is resinous, waxy, more burnt with milk chocolate, vanilla. Grassy note comes out and some citrus. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is woody and fruity, bourbon like, as the wood is roasted and spicy with caramel, maple, biscuits, creamy, balanced, actually delicious. The fruits are yellow, molasses vegetal with mint. After the rest, industrial notes burst out with tar, a bit bitter and waxy with resinous, earthy(musty), dry wood, maybe juniper.Our tasting buds are also attacked with tasty marzipan, sour cherry and flowery notes.Balanced and round. 8,1:The finish is long, woody, dry, bourbony and bitter with tar, vanilla, caramel, dried fruits, some spice and mint...
Delia's whisky store has selected its first rum, let's see... The nose reminds me of after eight, so slightly artificial mint, too bad I don't have any for comparison, but it's exciting. On the palate I'm struggling at first, typical TDL notes are hard to make out at first, more plum and sour cherry here. Interesting bottling but not quite to my taste. Reminds me more of a Spanish rum style at the end.
