#5087 Saturday 24.01.2025 - 26.01.2025 A nice weekend in my sisters summerhouse with old friends and colleagues tasting a lot of rums. I can only recommend like we did, no phones allowed and then only music in the background 😊 Colour Medium dark. Nose Wood, light roasted, apricot, light dried fruit, light caramel, faint orange, sweet. Palate Light sweet, wood, light roasted, light caramel, apricot, cinnamon, faint salt, fruits. Finish Medium long, wood, fruits, raisin, faint chocolate, light caramel. Empty glass Light orange, light chocolate, wood, light rubber, light peach.
Nice natural vanilla custard finish. Find it good. Only a few percent more would be desirable here
Eine Reise von Früchten über Holz zu Gewürzen. In der Nase intensiv fruchtig und mit einer gewissen Süße. Am Gaumen kommen zunächst ebenfalls tropische Früchte an, die Süße ist weniger deutlich und weicht dann holzigen Anklängen mit einem Hauch Karamell und auch einer Spur Salz. Leider wirkt er auch etwas wässrig. Der Abgang ist dann doch unerwartet mittellang und trocken, es kommt zu den Holznoten etwas Vanille hinzu und etwas dunkle Schokolade.
Very good position to this price ~35€ imo.
