This cask comes from the TDL distillery, based in Trinidad. The Rhum Attitude team selected this rich, powerful rum.
This molasses rum was distilled in 2006. After an initial 7-year ageing period in ex-bourbon casks in the tropics, it was moved to cellars in Liverpool.
We received it in our Brussels boutique in September 2022. You can come and taste it and buy 50, 70 or 100 cl. Don't forget to bring an empty bottle - we'll fill it on the spot. Prices are as follows: 70€/50cl - 98€/70cl - 140€/100cl
You can also order 70cl here and come to the store later, whenever you like. We'll store the rum in one of our bottles and set it aside for you.

Nico's tasting notes
The nose is highlighted by a light varnish with hints of honey, as if the oak had been coated with beeswax. A fine balance then emerges between spices or nuts from the wood, and a more vegetal aspect that carries a certain freshness.
Aeration releases a few ethereal notes, allowing the rum to reveal more of itself. It then reveals a basket of ripe orchard fruit, with mirabelle plums and white grapes oozing with sugar. Beeswax adds another layer of patina, wrapping the whole into an increasingly pastry-like profile.
The palate is powerful and round at the same time, with rum that spreads out abundantly, crushing the palate as it were with a rather thick texture. The ripe fruit releases its juices and juices, before the pits and seeds squeeze the taste buds with a bitterness and sharpness that evoke the copper of the still.
The finish is greedy and pastry-like, with full-bodied vanilla, tender oak with hints of coconut and a pinch of sweet spices.
"A well-balanced, gourmet rum that unites all its facets under a honeyed patina..."
