On the nose riechts hard Artificially after Toffifee, taste in itself solid quaffable nutty chocolaty tdl but somehow a strange metallic and rotten-woody beinote that bothers me. Madeira wine influence is also too dominant for me...
This weekend was very busy because I've been building a new shelf system for my 250+ bottles so my Saturday and Sunday tastings haven't been added :-) This is not the regular Trinidad style rum and I can only recommend that you try it out because this is a well hidden gem for most.
Much wood in the nose. Alcoholic. Coconut. Very closed too. The alcohol surpresses other smells. It keeps that way. Its nutty. Reminds me of Oloroso sherry maturation. Musty dry and rubbery. Could be interesting but the alcohol is not well integrated. I do like the nuttiness though. Weird weird TDL.
The taste is clearly more pleasant than the nose. If the somewhat pungent smell would not be one could better perceive notes of dark chocolate. In the taste then clearly more fruity than in the nose and in addition warm notes of cocoa that condense with time. After a while in the glass clearly chocolate. At the beginning something meaty and cinnamon, which unfortunately does not really fit together. Must breathe in any case.
