How does this rum taste?
Most love its insane fruit, olive and funky cheese/BBQ character that somehow hides the 68.8%. Critics find it too weird and aggressive. Consensus: a fascinating but polarizing Savanna ester bomb.
If you enjoy Savanna HERR, Grand Arôme or funky mezcal, this pushes those levers even harder with olives, cheese and BBQ at 68.8%—amazing for funk fans, overwhelming for most others.
Beginners, anyone sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers who dislike vegetal, briny, cheesy or baijiu-like funk and prefer classic sweet, vanilla-driven rums.

Bbq sauce, citrus zest and essential oils with a hint of hydrocarbons
02-09.04.2022 This was crazy week, where some friends and I rented a nice summerhouse on Rømø. The plan was to go nuts for a whole week with different rums without going overboard. The final agreement came to 6 rums a day and then enjoy nice walks or ferry rides during the day. Day 4 Notes Transparent in colour. Nose Intense, floral, light olive, light glue, esters, citrus, light tomato. Palate Warm, light vegetal, floral, light olive, faint salt, light glue, esters, light tomato. Finish Very long and warm, faint smoke, light vegetal, esters, citrus. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while and while resting a perfume like smell spreads in the room.
bompary goes into the glue
Olive, cave aged blue cheese, earth and some floral notes on the nose. Bubble gum showed up after 15 minutes Has that crazy juicy fruit gum flavor and finish for minutes. Sweet up front but very dry finish Doesn't drink like 68.8 at all!
