How does this rum taste?
The Kill Devil Trinidad Fernandes by Hunter Laing, distilled at T.D.L Trinidad in 1999, matures for 21 years with a potent 61.5% ABV. This limited release, with only 249 bottles available, delivers a unique sensory experience marked by its bold leather and oak aroma, balanced against subtle prunes, mocha, and roasted undertones. On the palate, expect smoky dominance, complemented by nuanced coffee and dried fruit flavors, with a bitter and woody finish. While the rum's standout smoky and roasted profile appeals to many, its astringency and potential whisky cask finishes have drawn mixed impressions. Overall, it presents an intriguing yet divisive option for seasoned rum enthusiasts looking for complexity.

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.
