How does this rum taste?
The Trelawny Endemic Birds (Lizard Cuckoo) is a unique Jamaican rum crafted at the Hampden distillery and bottled by Velier. Distilled from molasses in 2011 and aged 9 years in a pot still, it exhibits a robust aroma of vanilla and banana with subtle spice and wood notes. The taste profile, characterized by tropical fruit and banana undertones, balances woody and spicy elements with a distinctive ester presence. Bottled at cask strength with an ABV of 60.9%, this rum has elicited varied feedback, often praised for its fruity smoothness, but occasionally noted for its unexpected bitterness. Suitable for collectors, it appeals to those who appreciate boldly aged, ester-rich Jamaican rums.

K tomuhle ptáčkovinse vracím po několika měsících podruhé, a bohužel ho to bude stát pár bodů hodnocení, protože mám víc s čím srovnat. Opět se objevuje hořkost, a takový divný odchod v hrdle, opět takové zbytečně moc uhlazené. Přesto z doposud ochutnaných ptáčků nejlepší.
