Rum Shark T.D.L Angostura 2009

Most enjoy the sweet start and drinkability at 60%, while critics find it flat, short and low on classic “minty/technical” Angostura notes. Consensus: decent, non-additive Trinidad for strength fans.

    Dry, strong Trinidad for non‑sweet seekers
    Who is this rum for?

    If you like straightforward, dry cask-strength rums and don’t mind some alcohol bite, this is a fair Trinidad pick—but look elsewhere if you chase complex, minty Angostura profiles.

    Not really suitable for

    Beginners, anyone sensitive to high ABV, and fans of rich, deep or classic “minty/technical” Angostura expecting big complexity and a long finish.

    Aroma

    Chocolate Caramel Fresh Medicinal

    Překvapivě sladkej nástup, doprovázen intenzivním alkoholem, poměrně rychle ustoupí a vystřídá ho hořká travnatost. Závěr kratší, hořkej a ovocným odchodem.. čerstvě otevřená láhev, ještě se k ní vrátim.

    Je to lehká Angostura, nečekejme žádné extra technické či velké mátové tóny. Drobně tam jsou, ale musejí se velmi hledat. Závěr je silný, štiplavější, síla alkoholu vyleze na povrch. Své příznivce si najde, pokud vyhledávají silný ale ne technický rum.

    Na první nadechnutí ostřejší vůně. První napití necítím nic zásadního a lehce štípne ale postupně se v puse vyvýjí určité chutě. Není to mátová Angostura, ano sem asi stý člověk co to píše ale zase si nemyslím, že nutně musí být ikdyž mi mátové chutě chutnají. Úvod je sladký a potom lehce travnatý ale spíše decetně. Chutě nejsou výrazné ale ani nepříjemné. Dovedu si představit to pít celý večer. Je to dobrý rum, který si rád naleju.
