Santisima Trinidad Rum

[El Presidente]

 

I saw this at Dans last week. 

Has anyone tried it?

Yeah! I stumbled on it in Dans a few months ago and have been enjoying regularly ever since. When I first found it the 15 was on discount at about $70 and it is very good value at that price. It's still definitely worth a try even at the full freight which is around $100. IMO it is at least on par with other rums around that price point.

The 7 is okay, but a marked step down from the 15. The price difference isn't big enough that I would ever buy it over the 15. I bought a bottle to try it but won't replace it when it's done.

The 3 is a nice sweet cocktail rum. $5 cheaper than the Havana Club equivalent and I would probably choose it over that for the novelty if nothing else.

No idea where the brand came from or what the story is. Nothing really about it online that I can find.

Never seen it. Hope to try one day.

Dan's an Aussie bottle shop?

Yes, Dan Murphy's or sometimes known colloquially amongst the locals as 'The Irishman'.

The moral of this story is that if you live in the US, you have to do all of your shopping in Australia to get anything nice... 😔
