Day 4 in the RumX Advent calendar, blind. My first impression told me "Spanish style", after smelling something perhaps Barbados, since quite some glue. Then a strong coconut note that does not let me go, along with baked banana in honey. On the palate then strong spicy, but also somewhat alcoholic. Again, mainly coconut, a bit peirisich and apricot with some spice, maybe some marzipan and anise. Based on the coconut note, I guessed Belize. Medium aged (8-10 years) and about 57%. At least one of them was right. Exciting rum, which I otherwise probably would not have tried. Always something new, Privateer should perhaps not be completely forgotten.
An interesting rum... of pleasant spiciness and its own flavor, which I can not define so at all! Am curious about more from this distillery
a bit rounder and sweeter than the Velier 2017, is probably due to the aging in ex-rum barrels (vs. virgin oak), but still, also here the unmistakable, impetuous, resinous (after sawmill). I am curious about longer matured Privateers....
