Compagnie des Indes is a great success. On the nose: wood and freshness On the palate: spices, pepper and grapes are added, with a long finish. A fine tasting.

Brussels Rhum Festival 15/03/2025 Low ABV easy drinking Trinidad. Nice sipper. Candy like nose.
Review by Philip M. 🇧🇪
15/03/25: tasted @ Brussels Rhum Festival. I always like it when you get a fresh, minty nose from a TDL. Too bad it's only 43%. It makes it an easy sipper, but higher ABV might have improved the score.
Review by TheJackDrop
Degusté au Spirits Days à Tournai, notes rapides : Nez : cassic, eucalyptus, ca promet et c'est très marqué pour 8 ans a 43%. Bouche : sur la meme trame, MAIS par contre la ca manque de peps. Bref : un trinidad jeune mais savoureux, qui manque un peu de peps, trop réduit pour moi. Belle porte d'entrée cela dit. 70€ bon...
Review by LukaŽiga
7,8:On the nose, the first impression we get is fresh and fruity with red and yellow fruits like graps, apricots, peaches, tropical with passion fruit, as a wood is roasted with caramel.A molasses brings floral and minty notes. On aeration, the rum is spicy with red pepper and nutty, there is some chocolate, the molasses is earthy, we could find menthol and citrus. 7,5:On the palate, the attack is light with dried fruits like apricots, raisins, citrus, spicy and roasted wood with notes like pepper, vanilla, creamy caramel, cream toffee, brown sugar, as the molasses is floral, fresh. After resting the rum, it becomes metallic, perhaps a bit sulphurous, there are faint industrial notes with tar, rubber, also menthol. Tannins and meaty notes arise with next wave of our tasting. 7,6:The finish is medium long, dry with spicy and roasted wood notes, a bit tannic, dried apricots, yellow fruits, faint industrial notes like rubber, tar, as the molasses is minty, floral..
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Surprising drinking strength single cask here from CDI. Surprisingly expressive for only 8y and also very drinkable and accessible thanks to the 43%. Dried apricot, sulphurized raisins, grape, honey and eucalyptus, as well as oak wood and pink pepper come together very pleasantly here. Medium-long finish. Not a revelation but tasty and a nice introduction to TDL that doesn't overwhelm.
Review by Chrischi78
Ein abwechslungsreiches Aromenspiel im der Nase und durchaus zugänglich im Geschmack. Nicht allzu komplex. Ein schöner Einstieg in die Trinidad-Rum-Welt aber man sollte seine Erwartungen zügeln können. Ganz lecker: single-cask light
Review by Johannes
Etwas dünn, geht irgendwie in Richtung Marillenbrand.
Review by F.L.O.
Einer dezent alkoholischen Nase folgt ein seichter, süßlicher und ehrlich gesagt langweiliger Geschmack. Ich hatte bei 43% keine Wunder erwartet, aber das geht dann doch weit an der Erwartungshaltung vorbei.
