Powerful, ultra-sweet dessert Trinidad A sweet-toothed sipper for curious explorers: 25-year-old, 53% Trinidad rum with massive vanilla, milk chocolate, caramel and warm wood. RumX members see it as a powerful dessert-style rum best enjoyed slowly.
Fans of very sweet, powerful dessert rums who enjoy vanilla, chocolate and caramel notes and don’t mind heavy dosage in a well-aged Trinidad profile.
Anyone avoiding added sugar, preferring dry rums, or sensitive to intense sweetness that can mask the original distillate character.

Review by Jakob
Pappsüss. How high is the sugar content of this bottling? The original distillate is practically unrecognizable. Unfortunately far too sweet for me.

Review by Oliver
The first whiff makes it clear: this is going to be sweet! Great associations of white chocolate and toffee immediately come to mind. Smells like an Italian dessert on vacation. As expected, the palate is very sweet with associations of chocolate and brown sugar. Very sweet - definitely a lot of help here. Not my cup of tea, but one of the best sweet rums I've tasted. So I can understand the hype. Anyone who likes sweet rums with power will get their money's worth here.

Toffifee zum trinken. Krass viel weiße Schokoladen Cookies mit Karamell chunks und Vanille. Flüssiges dessert. Sehr lecker aber mir persönlich deutlich zu süß. Wäre spannend den ohne zu dosage zu probieren....
Review by Mirco
Ein Top Vertreter der Süssrums, welche natürlich durch die Süssung an Komplexität verloren hat aber an Rundheit gewonnen. Viel Vanille, Schokolade, und warmes Holz findet man bei diesem Rum. Der Rum wurde 1988/1989 gebrannt, ist also ein Blend aus verschiedenen Fässern.
