“🚨 One of the most extreme rums I know. Austere, meaty, esters, fermented and a hint of "herring". 😳Not for the faint of heart. Then on the palate a great spiciness and sweetness. A real experience!”

“I think the NRJ TECA 2003 is about the most difficult rum I've ever had the privilege to rate. The Mark TECA is legendary and the LP TECA 2005 from HV is clearly the top dog. The TECA 03 is very special (thanks for saying that Tobi). I actually understand all the haters BUT: At this rum divide the spirits. For me, the profile of TECA 05 is”

“Goûté après le TECA 2007 NRJ puis le TECA 2005 Velier. Le nez me semble moins riche que les deux précédents. C'est toujours plein d'esters. Le bois est plus présent. Mais ça semble moins complexe et moins bon. En bouche, la bonne surprise ! C'est puissant, très boisé. Puis les fruits prennent leur place. Ça reste piquant en fin de bouche. Du début à la fin, une sensation de gourmandise sucrée est présente. Elle est étonnamment complétée par une touche salée. C'est elle qui fait pour moi la différence avec le 2007 de la même série. La finale est très longue. Je crois qu'après un brossage de dents on le goûte encore. Le rhum est alors plus lourd, avec du bois, du cuir. La sensation salée plus présente encore. Au-dessus de 2007. En dessous du 2005. Super rhum. C'est franchement très bon. Édit : goûté plusieurs fois depuis et vraiment j'adore son côté extrême et sa longueur interminable. Même après avoir goûté pas mal de choses, ce TECA me laisse toujours une impression dingue.”
