A nicer version of the basic Stiggins' Fancy. It is more flavorful, fuller in the body and everything but not even distantly reminiscent of smoke, peat or whisky. At all 😀. Is it a problem? Kind of, since I was excited about the smokiness or whisky aftertaste but do not get me wrong it is great, better than the regular one just not what I was expecting in terms of what has been advertised. It is little spicy in a good way, lot of sweet taste and a really prominent pineapple, not like in the regular version which seems like diluted smoky formula now. I like it. I even forgive the big fuss around the non-existent smokiness. The finish is kind of short to medium long. Also it is a little bit bitter in the aftertaste. Is that ,,it,,? The smoky formula? Charred barrel? Who knows. I like it though, it is better than it's older sibling which is more suitable to drinks and cocktails. Retaste 30.4.: F...me not sure whether it is a new glass that I have or it is because I had around 20+ rums in 24hrs but I can sense the peat now. A lot. Rest still holds true.
Only marginally different from the standard Stiggins. The barrel finish adds a certain warmth to the nose. But also seems a bit juicier than the regular.Taste-wise, the finish has the effect of a note of campfire that is present throughout. You have to like it, it's a bit special. Makes then but especially pure more fun than the regular - and makes 'nen Rumgroni even better.Addendum: a little air but especially room temperature gets out here massively more!
So a little smoke does it amazingly well. Although I am not a fan of smoke or peat.
For me, much too sweet, artificial and the teeling whiskey finish just does not fit in here at all. Extremely unharmonious and also Relativ spritzig...
