Amazing rich, yet mellow fruitiness on the nose. Sweet, fruity on the palate combined with some spices. I don’t get much of any LP bacon/meaty notes - just some smoke at the end. I like this very much. Add-on: RA / Nobilis / TRC: Very nice and mellow fruity notes with honey in all three. TRC is noticeable more woody/aged on the nose, however. RA most fruity and powerful on the palate. Nobilis somewhat tamed with noticeable less fruits. Wood and some smoke enter the picture. TRC with very nice combination of wood and fruits. Most elegant of the trio. Nice vintage/mark for enjoyable Jamaican sippers. 😊
Blindverkostung. Ja, hatte auf Jamaica getippt, konnte mich bei der Destillerie aber nicht festlegen. An der Nase gefiel mir der Rum gar nicht (Erbrochenes? 😳), am Gaumen zu Anfang auch nicht so richtig, dort wurde er aber immer besser, ich empfand ihn später als irgendwie zart, will sagen: ausgewogen und leicht. Auf LP wäre ich bei diesem Profil nie gekommen.
Erinnert mich an den 2009 Jahrgang aus Fidji. Mir fehlt Balance. Relativ herb, holzig.
Brauch ewig bis er sich öffnet. Dann aber eine wahre Vielfalt an Aromen. Beim zweiten Kosten typisch Jamaika aber dann auch wieder nicht. Hat auch würzige Seite die eher an Barbados erinnern. Hat mir sehr gut gefallen.
