Review by Andzin
Mezcal finish makes it special. Very unusual to other many Trinidads I had opportunity to try. Dry, almost like fruit destilat. It ia hard to describe taste and nose at the beging of bottle but foelr sure I say You should try.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
A fine, exotic drop, in my opinion! A clear sticky note at the beginning, then something else on the finish, which must be the influence of the Mezcal cask. I'm already looking forward to the second tasting when the sample from Olivia arrives. On the other hand, a bottle is not expensive, you can't go wrong with the price ... Update 2023-11-28: The 2nd tasting confirms it: light but drinkable. A really successful mezcal experiment. Quite unlike the Calvados experiment released at the same time (still without a RumX number).
Review by Martin Ekrt
The smell is too mild. I smell only fresh fruit, a little bit of flowers and even less technicality. The taste is similar. I haven't had the pleasure of tasting mezcal yet, but the finish definitely gave it an interesting twist. A good experiment for me.
Review by Jakob
The mezcal finish works surprisingly well - as expected, the rum turns spicy and smoky on the palate, but doesn't get lost in it. An interesting experiment that can certainly be described as a success.
Review by Jan Lu
Interessant mit dem Mezcal-Finish. Der Alkohol könnte besser integriert sein. Etwas kantig aber noch im Rahmen.
Review by F.L.O.
Wenn ich einem Einsteiger einen T.D.L. empfehlen müsste, dann wäre das ein guter Kandidat. Leicht minzig, einen Hauch Pfeffer und die ersten Rostbeulen. Etwas dünn, aber ansonsten sehr rund.
Review by Lot-NAS
The initial nose reminded me of an urinal puck. After some time it become some kind of Parfum, fruits and some vegetal notes. Overall it is quite fresh but I have to be honest that don’t recognise any Mezcal. Of course there are some nice aspects of this dram but nothing I haven’t seen somewhere else (and without the Mezcal finish). It is a decent but also kind of boring drop.
