The Nectar Of The Daily Drams Jamaica & Trinidad (WP+TDL)
Charred cherry wood, dark syrup and roasted nuts up front, with caramelised banana, black tea and a cool minty finish underneath. This is a Jamaica/Trinidad blend with sherry cask influence, and at 70% it needs 20-30 minutes to open. Several tasters loved the fruit and density, though some found the sherry and heat too much neat.
The community says- Charred cherry wood
- Well-hidden 70% ABV
- But: Hot neat

Aggregated from 38 community reviews.
Big, syrupy blend that mixes better than expected People rate it well but agree it's a big, hot pour. Give it time in the glass; a few felt the sherry piles up and preferred it as a mixer.

Review by Rare Akuma
This release needs 20-30 minutes in the glass to let the aggression settle. After resting you immediately pick up on very dark sugarsyrup and charred cherry wood. It’s thick, sweet, roasted and lightly smoked. There’s black fruits and juniper gracefully adds some bark and citrusy notes into the mix. On the nose the TDL component is too overpowering. Tasting finally reveals some WP: caramelised banana, tea and dairy. All other fruits are mostly scorched away by the heat. Hot, very dark and syrupy, but this time followed by salted butter into a minty, cool finish. It’s a nice blend, the alcohol is integrated pretty well and the price/quality is reasonably high at release. However I would have liked a little more involution.
Review by Filip Šikula
I feel a technical and woody cultivated Jamaican. The fun begins after tasting, when the jamaica initially shows up, immediately giving way to a hint of trinidad spice and eventually the cherry sweetness takes over. At first I'm quite excited, later on the sherry is probably too much.
Review by zabo
For me, it's actually more of a mixer than to be enjoyed straight. I'll try it in CubaLibre soon. I'm not convinced right now. Edit: tried it today as a mixer in CubaLibre. Definitely more suitable as a mixer. Corrected upwards as a result. Pure rather 7.6 than mixer 8.8. Awarded an average of 8.2 points
Review by Jonas
Nice, drinkable rum. Dangerously easy drinking for 70%. Sherry finish and WP come through. PLV top!
Review by PeterPapp
Perfectly integrated alcohol. The 70% I would have typed blind rather 50%.
Review by Alexander Rasch
Mmmm... schwere Kiste. Gefiel mir anfangs gar nicht da zu viel Schärfe und wenig komplex. Viel Fasseinfluss. Wurde mit der Zeit besser. Sehr gut in Coke. Richtig überzeugt hat der Rum mich bis zum Ende leider nicht.
Review by Richard Krupa
Already strong enough for me (70 is 70), but at the same time lots of fruit, density and sweetness
