    Store visit Rhum Attitude Brussels May 2025. Taken along as a sample. Seems to be relatively new, the seller praised it properly and was right

    I had opened the bottle during a tasting of several bottles with friends, and we really liked it. But I wanted to give an opinion after a second tasting. The nose is a little overwhelmed by the alcohol, normal at the beginning of the bottle and over 63 degrees. There's red fruit, burnt sugar and a phenol-type chemical. On the palate, it bites, but by the 3rd sip it's beginning to be tamed. Fruity blackcurrant-cherry bitterness, mentholated freshness and coca cola. A touch of rubber. Endless finish! Fresh, black cherry, menthol. Conclusion: a rum tonic!

    Nez très mentholé et porté par les fruits rouges. Profil plutôt dans la lignée des TDL de la même année. En bouche, wow, c'est intense. L'alcool est vraiment mordant. Bien trop pour moi. Menthol et cassis dominent. Végétal. Sympa mais je re-testerai avec une goutte d'eau

    Wow, what a slap! The nose is quite Caroni: oil, dirt, hydrocarbons, blackcurrant, old tires, rubber. We're also on TDL with a little eucalyptus. But we also smell black fruits: blackberries. The nose is aggressive in alcohol. This is a Spiritori TDL, which I find even dirtier. The palate becomes TDL and rivals last year's Spirit Gallery: menthol all over the place, red fruits, the dirty side disappears for this bomb of red fruits (blackcurrant, raspberry, blackberry). The whole is warm and well-integrated with alcohol. A real delight! Finishes with licorice and hints of coca cola. finish: long, mentholated, powerful, woody
