Green Label Overproof Select Aged 151 (Green Label)

21.1.2025 Chuť velice brutální, ale až pomine pocatecni masakr jazyka, tak je velmi příjemná a dlouho trvajici.

Very surprising! The walnut-coffee-brown-caramel side is over represented from the beginning to the end... This combination crushes everything and it's a pity because it has potential to be better. It's a pity, the additions make themselves felt...

I’m surprised that this rum doesn’t feel its strength.

Toasted.too bad, certainly an addition of caramel to round off and block interesting flavors...

Overall I think it’s balanced and smooth. It’s a blend of rum from Guyana at 75,5%. There’s as far as I know two older versions of the Overproof. The oldest on with a blue label at 75% is a blend of rum from Guyana and Trinidad. Thereafter they released a green label at 75% with a blend of rum from Guyana, Trinidad and Barbados which I believe went quite short lived. The big difference between this one and the Green Label 75% is that the Demerara impacts even more and that it’s a little bit less round in taste.

IT is Perfect to drink with rock ice or in cocktails. A lot of carmel and chookolate. Medium finish.

7,3:On the nose, lots of power and a good dose of caramel.It's also a very powdery nose, with a flinty quality.One might even think of gunpowder just exploded. One also thinks of something metallic, heavy and coppery, which gradually leads us towards oxidized fruits (apple/plum) in compote, even BBQ. Aeration calms the beast a little, it's quite violent and even more coppery. The nose is quite tight, still powerful and powdery. With a lot of rest, at least 15 minute, it takes on notes of fermented VEGETABLE, some HERBAL notes, but above all roasted nuts, cocoa. 7:The attack on the palate is intense, coppery, dry and armored. This is hot stuff, and the taste buds are hyperstimulated! The powder takes on a cocoa-like quality, burnt sugar, notes of fermentation, herbs and copper intermingle, and power returns in devastating waves. A little prune passes through the eye of the storm, some raisins.It's worth noting, however, that this rum is well made, for although it's extremely powerful, you don't feel the aromas of alcohol. 7,3:The finish is with sherry-like notes of oxidation, nuts and prunes, some spiciness, licorice and herbs. Edit:25.3.25, an upgrade for a few cents

Very present notes of roasted coffee, with dried fruits and nuts, the finish lacks balance and tends to be burnt.

On the nose there is cocoa, coffee and raisin. A hint of alcohol. In the mouth it's cocoa and a noticeable alcohol. Personally, I would probably have preferred it a bit lower in percentage.

Too much caramel, good for cocktails
