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.
The community says- Whisky character
- Green apple bite
- But: Light, thin body

How does Les Grands Alambics Sea and Sun 1999 taste?
Aggregated from 11 community reviews.
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.

Nez caramel, boisé et avec des esters. Une pointe d'acidité type pomme verte. La bouche est différente avec des notes boisées et torréfiées. De la vanille. Du poivre. Une sensation de whisky presque. Malheureusement, alcool très présent et pas très bien intégré. Finale sur des notes de caramel et de café. Pas mauvais. Mais j'en attendais plus. Dommage.

Belle robe or. Un nez fruité (côté verger plutôt que tropical) et frais. Une noix fraîche. Des herbes. Il lui faut du temps. La bouche est dans la même lignée. Plutôt léger, il rappelle un whisky plutôt jeune. Il semble presque aqueux. Final moyen à courte. Profil pas très chaleureux. Pas très à mon goût...

Bon TDL mais sans les marqueurs habituels, tourné vers le Whisky. Loin d’être extravagant, beaucoup de poivre et de pomme selon moi.
Review by John Coffey
Un trinidad très fumé.. On a l'impression de goûter un whisky.. Alcool super intégré
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Tres atypique, on dirait un Guyana, mais vraiment bien fait!
