    "#4453 05.11.2023 just came back after visiting a former colleague and he offered a few rums to try. I only have notes because I came unprepared 😊 This one needed to rest for a while to take off the edges. Nose: fruity, roasted wood, cinnamon and a touch of coconut. Palate: roasted wood, fruity, raisin, caramel and light chocolate. Finish: medium to long with oily touch. Fruity with some chocolate and spices. The empty glass hasld some light vegetal and solvent notes."

    "I can't detect a Grand Arome profile here. The red wine cask is well integrated. But overall, I don't really know what to do with this rum. It's not a bad rum."

    "Deviates from the known profile of the Grand Aromes from La Reunion but quite clear. May be partly due to the barrel influence, but the usual DNA with overripe strawberries and mint is completely missing here. Instead, the already mentioned wood notes come to bear paired with clear spice and fruit esters, which show themselves for a Grand Arome but comparatively subliminal. The rum leaves me somewhat perplexed - the wood and spice impact is too clear to me, from Grand Aromes I expect even more estery explosion."

    "0,2% Unterschied zum anderen RdL Fass und dennoch so ein riesen Unterschied aromatisch im Glas. Hier sind eher zitrusmarmelade, Ananas chutney, dunkle Schokolade, Kaffee, Vanille, Zimt und mehr Eichenfass zu finden, das Rotwein finish ist auch eher im Hintergrund. Der andere gefällt mir deutlich besser im Direktvergleich da er mehr wie ein grand Arome schmeckt. Dieser ist eher ein traditionelle für mich..."
