Aroma visualization from community tastings
TCRL El Salvador 2007
Bourbon-cask fans who like a Foursquare-style sipper will feel at home here. Several tasters blind-guessed Barbados: toasted oak, cocoa, coffee, vanilla and caramel with a streak of glue-like ester on top. It reads sweet without being sugary, and the cask does most of the talking — the light distillate adds little of its own. At 63.9% it comes in hot until it opens up.

How does TCRL El Salvador 2007 taste?
Aggregated from 23 community reviews.
Cask-strength Foursquare-style bourbon-cask sipper Most people are pleasantly surprised by this El Salvador — "beautifully balanced, complex, sweet" with cocoa and oak. The catch: the bourbon barrel leads and the alcohol runs hot before it settles.

Review by Roman Lelek
Who would guess Salvador IB blinded tasting? I don’t.. was thinking about Barbados, Jamaica or Guayana… The color is quite light yellow..golden..simply not dark. The smell - interesting mixture of sweet, woody and sometimes esters- like nail polish or glue. The taste - intense, alcoholic, but after resting in a glass for a while, sweet cocoa or coffee and wood appears. For me personally I would prefer less % at about 45-50 with keeping the same taste - I would buy it again and again..

Transcontinental Rum Line El Salvador je jedinečný rum, který spojuje tropické zrání s evropským dozráváním, což dodává jeho profilu hloubku a komplexnost. Ve vůni lze rozpoznat výrazné tóny koření, sušeného ovoce a kakaa, doplněné jemnými estery a náznaky leštidla. Chuť je bohatá, s důrazem na dřevité a kořeněné tóny, které harmonicky splývají s vanilkou, karamelem a sušeným ovocem. Jemná praženost a estery přidávají rumu na zajímavosti a vytvářejí dlouhotrvající a intenzivní závěr. --- English: Transcontinental Rum Line El Salvador is a unique rum that blends tropical aging with European finishing, adding depth and complexity to its profile. The nose reveals pronounced notes of spices, dried fruits, and cocoa, complemented by subtle esters and hints of polish. The palate is rich, with an emphasis on woody and spicy tones that harmonize beautifully with vanilla, caramel, and dried fruits. A gentle roasted character and esters enhance the rum's intrigue, delivering a long-lasting and intense finish. --- Deutsch: Transcontinental Rum Line El Salvador ist ein einzigartiger Rum, der tropische Reifung mit europäischer Nachreifung verbindet und seinem Profil Tiefe und Komplexität verleiht. In der Nase finden sich ausgeprägte Noten von Gewürzen, Trockenfrüchten und Kakao, ergänzt durch subtile Ester und einen Hauch von Politur. Der Geschmack ist reichhaltig, mit einem Schwerpunkt auf holzigen und würzigen Tönen, die sich harmonisch mit Vanille, Karamell und Trockenfrüchten verbinden. Ein sanft gerösteter Charakter und Ester verleihen dem Rum zusätzlichen Reiz und sorgen für ein langanhaltendes und intensives Finish.

Twdy on Salvador surprised me. I wouldn't have pegged him at all.

Such a smaller brother of Foursquare - pleasant smell and taste, chocolate, wood, dried fruit. Fine rum.

For fist smell - 100% FSQ. Not on the taste. There is just small part of coffee and even less chocolate. Nice anyway
