Privateer Distiller's Drawer #97 Pot Stilled New England Rum 'Spirito di Contemplazione'

Nutty, bourbon-esque Privateer with a kick

Nachgeholte Verkostung des Rums vom 04.12. des RumX-Adventskalenders 2023: Wow, der schmeckt mir, ein potenter Rum! Was, das ist ein Rum aus den USA, ein Privateer? Hatte ich, glaube ich, noch nie im Glas, hätte aber auf einen mittelalten und mittelguten Clarendon getippt.
Privateer is a thing that can go miss or hit. This is a hit, not perfect but very good. I would like to have more of that. It also seems, I like other things in Privateer than the rest of us.
RumX Kalender23 Tag 4 Nase recht alkoholisch mit Noten von Vanille, Pfeffer und Fass Am Gaumen ähnlich, es kommen aber noch mehr Aromen hinzu, welche ich grade nicht genau benennen kann Keine Fassstärke, verdünnt auf knapp über 50% Vielleicht etwas mit Calvados finish :thinking: Ich habe keinen Plan, werfe aber mal Barbados ins Rennen und gebe 81 Punkte
Kalender #4 / blind An Foursquare musste ich auch kurz denken, allerdings kann ich die starke Minznote / Menthol da nicht so wirklich in Einklang bringen. Ansonsten Vanille, viel Fass, leichte Röstaromen und eine medizinische Schärfe. Am Gaumen auch recht scharf und gleichzeitig etwas wässrig. Man schmeckt was man riecht, dazu Apfel und Birne. Könnte so ein gepanschter Plantation Foursquare sein :man_shrugging: Mit etwas Zeit im Glas verschwinden Minze und Menthol fast vollständig.
