How does this rum taste?
Dark, smoky Trinidad powerhouse
If you enjoy darker, whisky‑leaning TDLs, this is a great bottle: lots of roasted oak, tar and coffee at full strength, which really rewards a bit of water and patience.
Beginners, those sensitive to 61.5% ABV, or drinkers looking for soft, sweet, fruity TDLs with more roundness and less dry, smoky barrel influence.

Independent Fernandes. I don't like licorice, but here it's done really well. Charred barrel or slight overlay to the actually shallow rum. But it fits here. Thanks Michael for the leftover bottle. I like it.
Nose: Roasted, dark notes are very dominat. Significantly different from the TBRC Fernandes. Palate: same again. Dark and roasted notes, some sweetness. Reminds me nothing of TDL but rather of a South/Middle American Spanish style rum. Again: very different compared to the TBCR.
In itself a good TDL with well-integrated alcohol, but if there wasn't a part of the cask maturation at least in the Scotch whisky cask, I'll eat a broom... Unfortunately, that gives me a lot of deductions...
Eine tolle und überzeugende Abfüllung. Hatte die Flasche lange zu Hause und fast verkauft, gut habe ich es nicht getan. Viel dreckige, medizinal Noten die man nach Trinidad verordnen kann. Dazu gut eingebundene Süsse und tropische Früchte. Zusätzlich Tabak, durchgängig Kaffee und Eiche. Sehr schöne Komplexität. Es passiert relativ viel. Einzig der Alkohol hat was leicht bissiges zu Beginn, etwas Wasser tut hier super. Für mich eine unterschätzte Abfüllung.
