The Trois Rivieres 2004 Single Cask 11yo rum is a unique and exceptional expression from the renowned Martinique-based rum producer, Trois Rivieres. This special bottling was released in 2015 after being aged for 11 years in a single American bourbon barrel, specifically numbered L19-38, imbuing the rum with its distinctive character and complexity. Upon opening, the initial aroma is dominated by sweet and sour citrus notes, accentuated by a hint of orange. Subtle sweet spices such as cardamom, along with less sweet spices like pepper, are present, alongside woody notes and dried fruits like prunes. With further aeration, a refreshing menthol note emerges, adding to the complexity. On the palate, the citrus notes transition into lemon flavors, complemented by refined wood notes and a pronounced white pepper flavor. The finish is long and woody, with lingering menthol and white pepper notes. A fleeting blend of cooked caramel and licorice, reminiscent of certain aged rums from Guadeloupe, briefly marks the palate. This rum truly showcases Trois Rivieres' commitment to quality and craftsmanship, making it a must-try for any rum enthusiast.
Indeed, Trois Rivieres is considered one of the best rum producers in Martinique. Despite not enjoying the reputation it deserves due to decisions made by the parent spirits group located far from where this beautiful nectar is conceived, it remains a highly esteemed brand among connoisseurs.
The rum exhibits a complex profile with dominant citrus, woody notes, sweet spices, menthol, and subtle hints of dried fruits like prunes.
Some reviewers have noted that the barrel influence is strong, giving it a character somewhat reminiscent of Cognac both on the nose and palate, albeit still retaining its unique rum identity.
While it has a harmonious blend of tropical sweetness and spicy notes, some may find it a bit too mild. However, its complexity and refined character make it a delightful experience for many.
Overall: This rum offers a harmonious blend of tropical sweetness, citrus notes, and complex woody character, resulting in a rich and memorable tasting experience.
Reviewers praise Trois Rivieres 2004 Single Cask 11yo rum for its delightful aroma of oak cask, likening it to a Cognac due to its rich, complex profile. While some find it a bit too mild, it remains highly regarded for its quality and craftsmanship.
