Review by ChristophFFM
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.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Relatively wild & dirty with so much glue/petrol. Very unusual for a Trinidad. Mint, caramel syrup, dried fruit and lots of spices on the palate. But it's not really harmonious. Too sweet and at the same time too "dirty".

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.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Quite its flavours. A hospital with sweet syrup. Taste shows TDL mintiness/mintiness, but loaded with sugar. A terrible shame for me. If it wasn't for the overly sweetness I would enjoy this rum. As it is, I feel a missed opportunity on the finish. Edit: slight reduction in rating. The sweetness is a detriment.

Pineapple, alcohol

Rough, strong pirate rum ;-)
Review by Rumpalumpa
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.
Review by TheJackDrop
Intriguing and different with every sip, a good discovery.
Review by Andzin
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.

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

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"Other than being just a little too sweet and easy going for my personal tastes this overall is not a bad rum. It's just pretty ordinary. It is easy to sip and is perhaps also reminiscent of the Barceló rums from the Dominican - particularly the Imperial Blend."Read full review →
