Les Grands Alambics Sea and Sun 1999

Opinions land close together here: this drinks more like a young whisky than a classic Trinidad rum, and that's the whole story. Green apple, black pepper and a touch of caramel, with a light, almost watery body for its 22 years. Some find the alcohol nicely tucked in; others say it pokes through. One taster even guessed Guyana. Atypical, and not for everyone.

Whisky-like Trinidad, peppery and apple-driven The verdict is consistent: a whisky-leaning Trinidad without the usual markers. Members respect it but several expected more depth for the age — pleasant, not thrilling.

8.1/10

Nose of caramel, woody and with esters. A hint of acidity like green apple. The palate is different with woody and roasted notes. Vanilla. Pepper. An almost whisky sensation. Unfortunately, alcohol is very present and not very well integrated. Finish on notes of caramel and coffee. Not bad. But I expected more. Shame.

7.9/10

Beautiful golden color. A fruity nose (orchard side rather than tropical) and fresh. A fresh nut. Herbs. It needs time. The palate is in the same line. Rather light, it reminds of a rather young whisky. It almost seems watery. Medium to short finish. Profile not very warm. Not really to my taste...

Good TDL but without the usual markers, leaning towards Whisky. Far from extravagant, a lot of pepper and apple in my opinion.
