    "Da hat mir der Eugen dieses Sample geschickt, um etwas olfaktorisch klugschnacken zu können. Ich fühle mich geehrt😇 nun, dann wollen wir mal … ein 9 Jahre alter aus Übersee, aus einem Virgin Oak, Pot Still, Melasse, ohne alles mit 62%. Klingt schon mal sehr gut… Nase: wow, sehr dichtes und volles Aroma. Würzig-holzig mit dunklen, süß-sauren Früchten. Das New Make Eichenfass bringt gleich zu Beginn ordentlich Vanille und süßes Holzaroma. Die Süße erinnert mich an kräftigen Waldhonig. Zugleich sind da aber auch fruchtig-frische Noten von saftiger Zitrone, Orange und süß-sauer schwarzer Johannisbeere, Stachelbeere und Sauerkirsche. Ja, könnten auch Cranberry’s sein. Dahinter kommen auch nussig Aromen von fetter Pekannuss und Kakaopulver. Die %% passen super. Gefällt mir richtig gut. 8,9 Gaumen: auch hier kräftig und würzig-holzig. Das Virgin Oak kommt wieder mit Vanille und süßen Holzaromen, dazu hat man aber auch einen salzig-bitteren Antritt der mit leichten Tanninen daher kommt. Dominant finde ich erneut die süß-sauren Früchte - Sauerkirsche und Stachelbeere - die allerdings von Muskat, Pfeffer und etwas süßer Lakritze begleitet werden. Wirkt insgesamt etwas jung und wild, röstig und nussig-speckig, macht aber wirklich Spaß. 8,7 Gerne mehr davon 🤤"

    "richland aus den USA. 9 Jahre tropisch (?) gereift? Fassstark. Wow, suprise suprise. möchte man meinen. Der Rum ist gut, der Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden, der Geschmack erinnert sehr an Foursquare mit etwas Nuss unf angerösteten Cranberries. Für weitere Ausührungen müssten Aroma Detectives ala Frank_N her. Lecker, leider wenig innovativ."

    "A real nice discovery of this distillery, thanks Jonas. The profile is greedy (chocolate, nuts) with a nice concentration. The alcohol is super integrated, I would not have guessed the 62 if it was not written. In short, it is a very good rum of this profile."

    "I know far too little about US American Rums, even though I know that they have a large history. This again reminds me of rums for the American market, being akin to the way bourbons can be pleasent. Still nothing outrageous"
