Samaroli Trinidad Rum 1999
More than one taster called this a "weird one" — and that's the honest read. It's herbal, woody and dry, with dried fruit and orange on the nose but a palate that thins out into mostly wood. Several people swore it tastes more like Uitvlugt (or a whisky finish) than a classic Trinidad, and a few found it flat at 45%. Pleasant, just not what its specs promise.
- Clean, no off-notes
- Fruity, woody nose
- Easy herbal sipper

How does Samaroli Trinidad Rum 1999 taste?
Aggregated from 20 community reviews.
Herbal, woody and a bit thin Decent but underwhelming for a 21-year-old. Most find it herbal, woody and a touch thin — clean with no off-notes, yet light on character and not obviously a Trinidad.

Review by Tschusikowsky
A prima rum. The nose gives a lot of uitvlugt. Mouth and finish pleasantly peach. The low ABV is there, of course. But still: top quality. No off-flavors, very straightforward thereby and accessible.
Review by Timo Groeger
Oh man, what a rum. It's very fruity on the nose, and also quite woody. On the palate, all I can recognize is wood. But a really tasty rum, you can't really say anything against it.
Review by Johannes
Etwas nichtssagend. Schmeckt, als ob er ein Whisky Finish gehabt hat.

Review by Thunderbird
Meines Erachtens fehlen hier einfach ein paar Prozente! Der Geschmack, wie auch die Nase sind mir zu flach! Potenzial wäre aber da gewesen Re-Tasting bei Dr. Django: Dieser TDL ist und bleibt einfach nur Durchschnitt. Vor allem im Vergleich zudem, was heute an TDL‘s zur Verfügung steht
Review by Leo Krüper
Netter TDL mit wenig Charakter. Leider. Hatte aufgrund der Daten deutlich mehr erwartet. Insgesamt ein entspannter Sipper ohne viel Wiedererkennungswert. Immerhin klar als TDL erkennbar. Leider auch kein gutes PLV.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
What a weird one. There is watering down omnipresent and a weird tannins. A little old rotten white wine in the nose. At the very end of tasting it, there is a hint of cask. Overall rather disappointing even though nothing is really horrible
