That Boutique-y Rum Company TDL Fernandes 19-Year

Now this rum is best drunk with some water or ice. Without it, the burn of 57% is quite powerful, it hides the light smokiness on the nose and herbiness on the palate. Add a drop of water, and we found the mango on the nose was bouncing on the tastebuds - the very long finish consisting mainly of white pepper makes it a different type of finish to a rum. We couldn't believe it's 19 years in a barrel, at times it seems more aligned with a white rum given its profile. £78 retail isn't cheap but it is worth it if this is your type of rum - or you fancy something different - we'd still say it is a solid 8

Rating: 8/10

Smell - navy strength is really obvious, behind that mango and caramel, with water you can get some light smokiness and it brings out the mango
Taste - a huge fruit taste of tropical, some dash of smoke and a certain herbiness to it
After Taste - medium/long length, white pepper stands out for quite a while

Opět jeden ze vzorků od kamaráda z české rumové komunity.
Již ve vůni cítím slabou techniku.
Ve vůni nastupují jemné technické tóny po nichž přichází jemný ovocný dozvuk.
Tento rum je přesně pro mne a chutná mi.
