    Well… obviously I seem to like it a lot more than most people… 🤔😅 Here is my „trick“: pour a glas -> forget about it -> skype with a friend for c. 2h -> remember the Rum -> alcohol feels reasonably integrated 🤷🏻‍♂️😅 Intense woodnotes in combination with herbs somewhat remind me of (much older) KFMs - again I actually like this one.

    Hm, I am trying to access this sample, but it is not possible. Harsh alcohol, quite dry. Nose is with lots of wood, not much else to the nose, and palate. Sadly, I am underwhelmed. Rating off 6 says it's good, which I would not attribute to it. It's a sad thing.

    8,6:On the nose, the first impression we get is vegetal with grass, leather notes and fruity with overripe tropical fruits like kiwi, banana. Then it becomes medicinal with some glue and roasted. Aeration brings out even more vegetal notes as herbs and mint, citrusy nuances with some lime peel, bergamot.It is fresher than before, as floral notes join, is fibrous, wood is a nice companion. We cannot avoid some metallic notes... Well balanced and round. 8,3:On the palate, the attack is a bit rough, but tasty, as chamomile, mint and herbs soften spiciness and some intense medicinal notes as petrol and high ABV. Some meaty notes could be fleeting... As the first wave calms, tropical fruits as kiwi, citrus like lime, lime peel and dried figs jump in the bandwagon. It is fresh with grass, mineral and a bit waxy. There are yeast and cookie dough notes. The palate becomes darker for a while with molasses, licorice, resin and menthol, a bit musty. 8,5:The finish is long, woody and dry, vegetal with herbal, floral and chamomile notes, fruity with lime and pineapple and for finish spicy, a bit mineral and there is also some liquorice.. Very good indeed...?! Strange past reviews....

    Nase: trotz sehr hohen Alkoholgehaltes kein Brennen. Milde Fruchtester, die bei anderen Jamaikanern schonmal stechend sind. Darunter das grasig-pflanzliche, Orangen/Kumquat-Aroma der Eggert-RA Serie. Keine Fehlnoten in meinem Sample. Geschmack: unverdünnt sticht der Alkohol vor, muffige Noten, nicht die erwartete Zitrusfrische, recht dünnes Mundgefühl, schwache Kräuter, Hauch von Lack. Abgang: Schaler Geschmack, blasse Eindrücke, kurz. Eventuell kürzer im Fass / anderes Finish wären gut gewesen. Wenn ich andere Rums in Fassstärke sehe, die deutlich komplexere Noten für weniger Geld liefern, bleibt es hier beim Mittelmaß.
