Plantation 1997 Single Cask Trinidad

Nose is a bit flat, heavy in the burn with just a hint of smoke. Nice on the tongue with a heavy peat taste ending in a hint of menthol. Not a great sipper for someone who is not a Scotch drinker. Tried a few builds with straight coke being the best, 7-up okay and much to heavy for ginger ale. Have not tried blending and do not really see it as that.

Though not for me I believe someone who likes a heavier peated Scotch would like the extra flavors that can be found in this rum.

15,5 roku zrání v sudech po bourbonu, 6 let ve Francii v sudu po koňaku Ferrand a následně ještě 4 měsíce v sudu po whisky Kilchoman.
Alkohol: 45,2 %
Původ: Trinidad/Francie
Aroma: Vanilka, hřebíček, zemitá rašelina, citrusy, mléčná čokoláda a taky závan americké žitné (takový ten typický lák od okurek). (88 b)
Chuť: Chuť je nasládlá, zase se objeví hřebíček, hodně zemitosti a rašeliny. Dochuť nasládle rašelinová, krémová, čokoládová. Celkově je chuť jemná, vyzrálá a uhlazená. V chuti je rašelinová whisky zřetelně cítit, a to až překvapivě silně, vzhledem k tomu, že z téměř dvaadvaceti let zrání si pobyl tento rum v sudu po whisky jen čtyři měsíce. V tom sudu jim asi pár litrů whisky zbylo :-) (88 b)
Body: 88/100
Shrnutí: Decový vzorek stačil na několik ochutnávek, ale tohle bych si dal rád častěji. Velmi originální a zajímavá záležitost nejen pro příznivce Islay.

Gentle on the nose which is deceptive because the first sip is BANG- smokey dry earthy flavours. Tiny bit of sweetness and plenty of layers of flavour after that. Most unusual rum I've ever tasted. It's an 8.5 at a push but I can't rate it 9 on here.

This rum does not come up from the glass easy. Not a strong nose, but i sense dried fruit, vanille and nougat. Fine smokey balance between nose and taste. The ABV 45.2 is well inegrated. If you are new rum drinker I recommend you try it out.

You definitely get a after taste of pleaded whisky jut it is still a rum and sweet.

Romhatten. 45,2%. 15,5 år på bourbonfad på Trinidad, 6 år på cognac fad, så 4 mdr på whisky fad fra Kilchonan. Brun. Duft let af røg og vanilje. Smag let af røg, sødme, frugt. Meget flot.

The lovechild of a Trinidad aged rum and a lightly peated whiskey. Surprising but lovely.

Nose : Original, starts on a smoky, peaty, earthy profile with black pepper. It Evolves on lemon peel, butterscotch and nougat.

Palate : Rich and complex, it offers a fruitier profile of cooked pear, peach and starfruit with notes of nutmeg, vanilla and macchiato and a hint of malted barley.
