    Vertical PM tasting: 89 / 95 /97 / 97 (cognac finish) / 02 / 05 / 13 Very nice. Predominantly leaning towards darker / woody / roasted notes. The cognac cask is quite noticeable adding grapes and a certain elegance to the rum. Interesting and noticeable different in the best sense.

    Rum-X Calendar 2024 Day 4 Not an easy one today! I have Worthy Park and T.D.L on the nose 🤪 With more standing time, the typical WP banana note dominates. Then completely different again on the palate. I can't categorize it. Lots of tannins and barrel, plus slightly sour. Long finish with lots of wood. No idea what it is, possibly Guyana, Port Mourant? I quite like the intensity, but the profile is not my cup of tea. ----------- Second tasting: alcohol seems better integrated today and I find nice notes of resin and herbs on the palate (+2) Nose: super fruity nose with sweet tropical fruits! Reminds me of New Yarmouth Vidya. Glue is also present. Very nice and relatively straightforward. Palate: the alcohol is very present and unfortunately the fruitiness is almost masked by the wood and bitter notes. However, there is a nice interplay between fruity and woody notes. Finish: long and dominated by wood, but fortunately the fruit still shines through. Very good rum, unfortunately I don't find the alcohol particularly well integrated.

    Edit: Day 4 RumX Calendar 2024 Totally guessed Clarendon 🤦‍♂️ Totally off the mark. Blindly, I would have given it another 8.4 despite a wrong guess So everything stayed the same Today three Uitvlugt from 1997 24yr (RX11475), 1998 22yr (RX8122) and 1999 14yr (RX6548) in parallel in the glass. In contrast to its competitors, the Duchess has a beautiful dark color, while the others are very pale. In terms of taste, the Tamosi is just ahead of the Duchess. Unfortunately, the Kill Devil cannot quite keep up with its competitors.

    In the nose still very fruity, one notices his age on the palate but clearly! The barrel impact can not be denied, but the fruit notes and some long drawn black tea with a mix of espresso are also added! The alcohol is perceptible, but still goes.On the palate, the dark woody side predominates!Overall a good solid PM
