This is the second competition for Temptryst Tropical Light. It also got gold at last year's Ministry of Rum Competition. Dood would probably do a better job of tasting notes. I'm biased!

Good?
To be honest, during the flavored round of the competition, I was so nervous that I didn't make a lot of notes. It was my first competition and I was just trying to get all the way through 19 some-odd rums.
However, I MIGHT have a sample bottle at home that I can make notes from tonight...

I found the Ruby Red to be intriguing, as well as the Key Lime and Orange. A tasting competition is not the ideal setting to take notes on a product. You need time to live with a new spirit to develop a solid knowledge of it.

I completely agree with Rob, to really appreciate any spirit takes more time than is available during a tasting competition, though there were two hours available for each session.
