Tasted the 2011 Trinidad single cask yesterday at a rum tasting and out of 7 Plantation's, this was my least favourite one. It doesn't feel like it has a lot of body and it only has an aftertaste that wasn't really my cup of tea.
This single cask spent its last months in Sauternes wine casks.

Thanks to the Spirit Explorers Club tasting set, I had the opportunity to drink another rum from Trinidad, and I must say that the rums from this country are great. I had the opportunity to taste Trinidad 2002 for RUM CZ/SK and also Caroni and maaaan... they were something else

Aroma: to me, Trinidad single cask is very similar to the 2020 Albert Michler single cask collection and also its stronger twin. There is a lot of technical aroma, I notice alcohol and then vanilla and honey.

Taste: again very similar to the mentioned rums, but this one was a little weaker.

Overall: For me, this was a really nice rum, but if I had to choose, I'd go with the Trinidad 2002 Albert Michler. Still highly recommended for the opportunity to try and see the difference between the two.
