Trois Frères Distillery Takamaka Bay Grankaz (Batch 2) 2023
One taster called it "interesting and colorful," a cane-and-molasses blend from the Seychelles with young French oak behind it. Expect citrus and orange peel up front, then caramel, vanilla, coconut and a peppery, spicy edge. Several people note the youth: a bit of metallic bitterness and heat, with a short, slightly thin finish. Most agree it's the best Takamaka they've tried.
The community says- Citrus and caramel
- Spicy warmth
- But: Alcohol not integrated

Review by Johannes
Schön rund, guter Eichenfass-Einfluss.
Review by DomM
Interesting and colorful with a blend of cane and molasses as well as influence from the Virgin French oak.
Review by Filip Šikula
Bottle kill 15.5.2024 I smell a hint of mhoba in the aroma - to me it's overcooked juice. Young oak to it. In the taste a big turn against the aroma. Sweeter profile, chocolate, caramel and nicely integrated alcohol with a warming finish. An interesting rum from a less usual destination.
Review by Vincent D
Tasted at RhumFest Paris 2025. I hadn't tasted a rum from this distillery for a long time, and I'm pleased to see that they've moved upmarket with this rather nice rum. Young wood, citrus, cane. Rather pleasant.
Review by Timo Groeger
Tagesausflug Münster Juli 2025. Kneipe Whisky Dungeon. Als nächstes ein solider Takamaka. Zitrusfrüchte und Orangenschale haben wir in der Nase. Am Gaumen dann Orange, Ananas, Kokosnuss und auch etwas Vanille.
Review by Jarek
Fair evaluation The Village 2025, Nuremberg: One of the better Takamaka bottlings so far. Not outstanding, but easy to drink. Perhaps a little more time in the barrel would have done the rum some good.
Review by Boletus
The Foursquare component shines through again and again, otherwise this rum is rather light, fresh and fruity, albeit with a certain alcoholic spiciness at times. In the short and somewhat thin finish, the youth is noticeable with a subtle metallic bitterness, before I am reminded of a rum-grape-nut-chocolate in the pleasant aftertaste.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very spicy and almost ginger-like hot, some red pepper and lots of wood. Alcohol could definitely be better integrated, but overall it doesn't really convince me to be honest... but it's the best takamaka I've tasted so far and it's also okay for 50€.
