Angostura Trinidad

I adore this rum, best rum and cola I’ve had

Ça c'est bon, c'est rond. Très légèrement sucré. Sur les fruit un peu confits.

A surprise from the 24 rums calendar. I taste an oily tar note here. I don't read anything about that in the other reviews. Strange. I'll have to get myself a bottle and keep testing.

Holziger Grundton, etwas Banane mit typischem Caramellton. Holz und Banane, allerdings sehr dezent am Gaumen, würziger Grundton, ölig und rund. Mittlerer Abgang, würziges Holz bleibt.

Sample no.14 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2022. Very sweet nose of ripe bananas and vanilla. Some notes of honey aswell. Palate is warm and sweet with tropical fruits.

27.9.2024 Cubana Bar Brno ve vůni čokoláda, vanilka, lepidlo, hodne zajimava, kořenitá chuť hladka, mirne nasladla, chviličku hodne výrazná, ale nevydrží dlouho

Pineapple, alcohol

Intriguing and different with every sip, a good discovery.

Rough, strong pirate rum ;-)

A very round rum. Pleasant spiciness with dry fruit on the nose, e.g. raisins. Then on the palate with a nice sweetness, spiciness from the cask, fruit covered by a little smoke. The molasses in particular lingers relatively long on the finish.

Quite sweet in the taste, unexpectedly sweet. Mostly chocolate, cream, vanilla and caramel with hints of wood on the 👅. 👃 Is completely different without any note of sweetness, providing slight alcoholic odour with notes of vanilla and oak/wood. Somewhere in the background you can smell sort of a gas like natural gas that is being used in home for cooking. I could not choose gas so I went with petrol which is closest. Overall taste is very good, nose is a little bit less interesting, or not at all really. Short to medium finish. Next one I will pour my self an angostura 1919 for direct comparison.

You can find typical Angostura notes in it. Menthol and medical, dirt all is there. Then also quite a lot sugar and integration of alcohol is not so gut. I have consumed two bottles in mixures and it goes well with coke.

According to me, the Trinidad rums are special. TDL and Caroni are peculiar. TDL has its unique mint smell and taste, which I could find in all of there rums. This one is not exception. Technical and fresh smell with delicate taste of menthol, orange and oil. Harder to swallow, the aftertaste is weaker, but for 8y old rum is ok.

Docela svá vůně. Nemocnice se sladkým sirupem. Chuťově je znát TDL mentolovost/mátovost, ale nahulená cukrem. Za mě strašná škoda. Nebýt přílišné sladkosti tak bych si na tomhle rumu pochutnal. Takhle v závěru cítím promarněnou příležitost. Edit: mírná redukce hodnocení. Sladkost je na škodu.
