    How does this rum taste?

    The Haiti 2004 by The Rum Cask is a unique Haitian rum crafted at the Barbancourt distillery. Distilled using a Column Still and aged for 17 years, it is bottled at an assertive 58.6% ABV. Users note a strong glue-like aroma with undertones of vanilla, citrus, and an herbal touch. The palate reveals dominant citrus flavors complemented by chocolate, woody, and spicy notes. While praised for its fruitiness and complexity, some find the alcohol presence slightly overpowering. This rum needs time to breathe for its full character to unfold, offering a transition from fruity to chocolaty and woody nuances.

    Gold Geruch: Süß und sehr fruchtig Fruchtige Esteraromen und dabei alkoholisch in der Nase. Etwas Lösungsmittel, Birne, Apfel, helle Trauben. Zudem Vanille. Geschmack: Süß, cremig und fruchtig mit Vanille im Mund, dann alkoholisch. Beim Schlucken sehr fruchtig. Zudem alkoholisch, holzig und würzig. Birnen-Apfelkompott mit Vanilleeis, Mango und Mirabelle. Abgang: Mittellang Pfeffer. Fass. Trocken, würzig und holzig im Nachgeschmack. Sehr lecker 87 Punkte

    Schöner Tropfen. Der Alkohol ist sauber eingebunden. Im Geruch viel toffee mit fruchtigen tönen von Limette und grünem Apfel Der Geschmack von geröstetem Malz klingt lange nach. Leichte süße die jedoch nicht künstlich rüber kommt

    Spannend. Nachdem er in der Nase vor allem fruchtig daherkommt und diesen Eindruck für einen kurzen Moment auch am Gaumen bestätigt, schlägt er dann sofort in dunkle, holzige und Schokoladige Noten um. Leider etwas scharf und alkoholisch, für 17 Jahre doch etwas überraschend. Ansonsten sehr solide. Bei weniger präsentem Alkohol und dafür etwas mundfüllenderem Aroma wäre das eine Top-Abfüllung, so ordnet sie sich in einem starken Mittelfeld ein.

    Ein Rum, der erst mal viel Zeit braucht. Er riecht sehr fruchtig mit etwas Kokosnuss. Geschmacklich merkt man das nur im ersten Moment, der auch leicht scharf ist. Dann überwiegen Schokolade und Mokka. Das wirkt auch lange nach. Gefällt mir gut, wenngleich der Alkohol etwas besser eingebunden sein könnte.
