This rum had almost fallen "under the radar". However, something compelled us to come back to it, and it was with each tasting that it revealed its full potential.
So we decided to bottle it after a series of two brews so that it could give its best, but without reduction, of course.
It comes from Trinidad Distillers Ltd.
Distilled in columns, it aged in ex-bourbon oak barrels for 10 years in tropical Trinidad, then 8 years in the UK.
255 bottles were produced. Some of them are also available in our Brussels boutique.

Florian's tasting notes
On the nose, it's open! Camphor and burnt caramel. Notes of roasting, vanilla nuts and tobacco share a beautiful aromatic balance.
Leave it to breathe for twenty minutes or so to allow it to offer a profusion of fruits, in this case blackcurrant, a blend of tropical fruits (mango and passion fruit); the rest is reminiscent of yellow nectarine.
The palate is a concentrate of red and tropical fruits. Mango/passion marmalade and orchard fruits intermingle. Good texture, pleasant and supple, followed by a more mature touch of camphor and menthol.
The very long finish is sustained by a minty, slightly tarry/smoky veil.
"An evolving rum that reveals multiple facets as it is tasted..."

Très bon TDL on retrouve des parfums de fruit rouge acidulé (cassis), puis ça évolue sur des fruits plus doux. Des palettes aromatiques qui évoluent constamment. Alcool bien intégré je trouve. Un rhum avec lequel on ne s ennuie pas !

excellent rum, tasted and bought at the boutique in Brussels... I noticed a sublime lychee smell and taste in it,... clearly aeration is super important for it to deliver its full potential!
