How does this rum taste?
Constellation’s Rum Polaris, crafted by La Palma Distillers in the Canary Islands, features a 48% ABV, striking a blend of classic and dynamic profile elements. Notably, the aroma is dominated by vanilla and burnt sugar, with faint notes of fruit and caramel. This rum's taste highlights woody undertones and vanilla, accentuated by hints of nuttiness. User reviews offer mixed reactions, pointing to a strong, initial taste that is often overshadowed by alcohol, leading to a diminishment of flavor complexity. Although opinions vary, users suggest a promising nose, contrasted by an abrupt finish. As an expression that incites diverse reactions, its high ABV may be both an attribute and a detractor, indicating it's best suited for those who appreciate distinctive profiles.
It’s so bland that it’s really hard to detect the tastes at all and not even the rather high ABV shines through, but when trying hard it’s the sweetness and fruitiness that’s detected. Really nothing to write home about.
The aroma and taste eye extremely low intensity. This rum is excessively diluted and seems sweetened to me, at least a little. I'm general, wood dominates the profile and it offers no real complexity.
Leider eher enttäuschend. Es ist ziemlich schwer etwas nennenswertes über diesen Rum zu sagen. Sicherlich ist Fasslagerung zu erkennen aber kaum etwas vom Destillat selbst. Der etwas höhere Alkoholgehalt hilft da auch nicht.
Vanille, Röstaromen und leicht fruchtig in der Nase. Im Geschmack kann man sehr detaillierte Aromen von Nuss, Kaffee, Holz und Vanille entdecken. Im Abgang spiegeln sich wieder vor allem Holz und Röstaromen wieder.
