The Samaroli 2003 Trinidad Special bottling for Rhum Des Vins Cask No.29 is a unique and remarkable rum spirit produced in Trinidad at the T.D.L distillery in 2003. This molasses-based rum, bottled after aging for 19 years, has an ABV of 55% and offers a complex aroma profile that includes minty, fruity, caramel, roasted, and confectionery notes. The flavor profile is equally intriguing, combining minty, intense, fruity, tobacco, and smoky notes.
The rum was distilled at Trinidad Distillers Limited in Trinidad and Tobago and aged for many years in Scotland before being bottled there, resulting in 305 numbered bottles. This unique cask number 29 was selected by Silvano Samaroli.
Upon tasting, the rum offers a bright acidity and slight astringency, which moderates to grape seeds, kumquat, and lime zest. A concentrated fruit paste emerges, with almost tarry accents.
