Sansibar Finest Jamaica & Trinidad Rum Special Selection
Most people came in with low expectations and walked away pleasantly surprised. It's a Jamaica-Trinidad blend where pineapple, banana and a hit of glue-like ester sit in caramel sweetness, with roasted oak and dried fruit behind. Several note the Trinidad side softens the funk. A couple felt it turned a touch sweet over time, and the 53.6% is so well tucked in that one taster guessed 43%.
The community says- Pineapple and banana
- Well balanced
- But: Slightly sweet

Review by Nivius
Annanas, lots of annanas, vanilla, banana, nice esters very round, then there is not this herbal note - really great PLV !To crack the 80 points mark, he would need me a little more depth, but you can not expect that at the age.
Review by cigares
Un rhum dégusté au restaurant de l’embouteilleur indépendant Sansibar. Un nez de bonbon acidulé, d’ananas et de maracuja avec un soupçon de colle. La bouche est sur l’ananas et les fruits secs avec un petit côté pétillant un peu dérangeant. La finale sur les épices et les fruits jaunes est moyenne en longueur. Le rhum de Trinidad tempère le jamaïcain, mais n’apporte pas les super notes des rhums de Trinidad des années 2000-2003.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Nice drinkable rum, but without any profile. Just nice rum
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Surprising. Pleasant. In the sense of: I had low expectations. A bit of a wood-boat touch, caramel-sweet, but not at all overbearing. Great balance. On ABV I would have guessed 43%, but it's a surprising 10% more, so actually perfectly integrated alcohol. At a price of about 50 EUR also recommended to beginners or as a gift.
Review by Boletus
Eine absolute Überraschung! Fruchtige Ester sind in eine karamellige Melassesüße eingebettet und ergeben ein sehr stimmiges Gesamtbild. Hier wurde beim Blenden ein wirklich gutes Händchen bewiesen. Ein toller Rum mit sehr angenehmer Bepreisung, der mir ausgesprochen gut gefällt!

06.08.2022 Thinking about the price tag you get a lot for your money. A fresh and fruity rum with light esters and some glue. Pretty well balanced profile and a medium to long finish. The empty glass had light chocolate notes.
