Rum Shark T.D.L Angostura 2009
Members who cracked this one keep landing in the same place: not the classic minty Angostura profile people expect. Reviewers get a sweet, slightly grassy start with mineral edges, then a hot, bitter finish as the 60% ABV shows up. Pleasant enough for a whole evening, but a few tasters found it flat and short on the technical depth they hunt for in Trinidad.
The community says- Sweet grassy opening
- Cask-strength character
- Hot bitter finish

Review by Filip Šikula
Překvapivě sladkej nástup, doprovázen intenzivním alkoholem, poměrně rychle ustoupí a vystřídá ho hořká travnatost. Závěr kratší, hořkej a ovocným odchodem.. čerstvě otevřená láhev, ještě se k ní vrátim.
Review by Martin Švojgr
Je to lehká Angostura, nečekejme žádné extra technické či velké mátové tóny. Drobně tam jsou, ale musejí se velmi hledat. Závěr je silný, štiplavější, síla alkoholu vyleze na povrch. Své příznivce si najde, pokud vyhledávají silný ale ne technický rum.
Review by Tomas Hajlich
Na první nadechnutí ostřejší vůně. První napití necítím nic zásadního a lehce štípne ale postupně se v puse vyvýjí určité chutě. Není to mátová Angostura, ano sem asi stý člověk co to píše ale zase si nemyslím, že nutně musí být ikdyž mi mátové chutě chutnají. Úvod je sladký a potom lehce travnatý ale spíše decetně. Chutě nejsou výrazné ale ani nepříjemné. Dovedu si představit to pít celý večer. Je to dobrý rum, který si rád naleju.
