Rhum Attitude Trinidad TDL 2005 18 Year

Review #1195; Rum #509

This is a single cask of rum from Trinidad bottled by Rhum Attitude. This rum was distilled from molasses on a column still at Trinidad Distillers Limited in 2005. It aged for 10 years in an ex-bourbon cask in Trinidad before being shipped to the UK where it aged for another 8 years. It was then bottled at cask strength with no additives or chill filtering.

An exceptionally fruit forward rum that lacks the industrial notes of the other TDL rums that I have had but it still spectacular. The spices and the star anise especially help to balance out the fruits. The oak and alcohol is well integrated as well.
