    #4 RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: Vanilla, sweet, trop. fruits, a lot of cocconut. M: spicy, caramel, roasted F: oak, vanilla, caramel Prediction: sound like a rum from barbados maybe FS, approx. 60%…. totally wrong 🙈 Alcohol could be integrated better. Nose: trop. fruity, a lot of cocconut, pineapple, caramel, honey, vanilla and spicy Mouth: Dry, strong, bitter and thin; notes of caramel, vanilla, roasted, cocconut, milk chocolate and a lot of spice Finish: dry, astringend, oak, caramel, vanilla

    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....
