Samaroli Trinidad Rum 1999
"A weird one," one taster admits — and several agree this doesn't drink like a typical Trinidad rum. The nose is fruity and woody, with dried fruit and a bit of orange; the palate turns herbal and dry, with wood taking over and only a hint of peach. At 45% after 21 years, a couple of members wish it had a few more percent — it reads thin and a little watery for the age.

How does Samaroli Trinidad Rum 1999 taste?
Aggregated from 20 community reviews.
Dry, herbal aged Trinidad that drinks thin Most find it clean and easygoing, but the recurring note is disappointment given the age and specs — pleasant yet thin, and unusually herbal for a TDL.

Review by Timo Groeger
Oh man, what a rum. It's very fruity on the nose, and also quite woody. On the palate, all I can recognize is wood. But a really tasty rum, you can't really say anything against it.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
26.06.2021 Sitting at home enjoying a few samples. Notes Light to medium dark in colour. Nose Wood, light roasted, light licorice, dried fruits, faint mint, light herbs. Palate Oily, medium dry, wood, faint smoke, spice, herbs, light vegetal, apple, light citrus, medium spicy. Finish Medium long, wood, fruits, warm, light grass, herbs, light mint.
Review by Tschusikowsky
A prima rum. The nose gives a lot of uitvlugt. Mouth and finish pleasantly peach. The low ABV is there, of course. But still: top quality. No off-flavors, very straightforward thereby and accessible.
Review by Thunderbird
Meines Erachtens fehlen hier einfach ein paar Prozente! Der Geschmack, wie auch die Nase sind mir zu flach! Potenzial wäre aber da gewesen Re-Tasting bei Dr. Django: Dieser TDL ist und bleibt einfach nur Durchschnitt. Vor allem im Vergleich zudem, was heute an TDL‘s zur Verfügung steht
Review by Leo Krüper
Netter TDL mit wenig Charakter. Leider. Hatte aufgrund der Daten deutlich mehr erwartet. Insgesamt ein entspannter Sipper ohne viel Wiedererkennungswert. Immerhin klar als TDL erkennbar. Leider auch kein gutes PLV.
Review by Johannes
Etwas nichtssagend. Schmeckt, als ob er ein Whisky Finish gehabt hat.

What a weird one. There is watering down omnipresent and a weird tannins. A little old rotten white wine in the nose. At the very end of tasting it, there is a hint of cask. Overall rather disappointing even though nothing is really horrible
