    How does this rum taste?

    Relaxed, fruity Trinidad sipper
    Who is this rum for?

    If you like balanced, easy TDLs like Corman Collins or Bristol bottlings, this one gives you similar caramel-wood-fruit charm with a slightly drier, fresher profile at friendly strength.

    Not really suitable for

    Those chasing intense, high-ester funk or very long finishes, or drinkers who want heavy sweetness and thick mouthfeel from their sippers.

    Aroma

    Glue Raisin Vanilla Caramel

    8.0/10 14 reviews

    A sweet and spicy aroma, a little vanilla, quaffable.Also the taste is slightly sweet, a little burning from the alcohol in the finish.Very pleasant.

    Herbs and spices dominate on the nose while the fruits with chocolate and wood are in front in the taste.Unfortunately, the rum is very volatile, there is virtually no finish.

    The nose is floral and buttery with hazelnuts! But also fruity: cherry! Some sweeter and woody aromas stand out. It is successful and charming. In mouth, it is dense and dry! We find the cherry of the nose, lime and spices. The whole is enhanced by a very pleasant vanilla touch. The finish is slightly acidic and slightly stings the tongue. We have a small minty and iodized effect which remains in mouth. The length is more than respectable on the wood! Nice TDL ! It is fresh, light and can be drunk very (too) easily. But despite everything, it remains complex and fun.

    31.01.2020 Relaxing at a small tasting at a local dining place that is no more. Notes. Medium dark colour. Nose: Wood, light smoke, light, medicinal, caramel, dried fruit. Palate: Light, wood, light smoke, caramel, fruity, medicinal, lightly bitter, berries. Finish: Medium long, wood, berries, caramel, faint chocolate.
