    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members highlight the woody oak, vanilla and caramel character here, lifted by hints of cherry and gentle spice. Distilled from sugar cane honey in a pot still at 47%, it shows a sweeter palate than its fruity nose. Often enjoyed alongside a cigar. Some note alcohol heat and a short finish. With 84 community reviews and strong buyer confidence, this limited release is a popular pick.

    Better than the classic Diplomat.

    Blindverkostung: joa, spanischer Stil, sehr deutlich! Dazu leider sehr alkoholisch mit Lösungsmittelgeruch. Karamell, Vanille, Getreide und süßlich. Am Gaumen stark brennender Alkohol, aber nicht wegen höhren Prozenten, sondern wegen schlecht eingebundenem Alkohol. Der Rum dürfte 46-48% haben, die aber ordentlich brennen. Er ist würzig mit einer leichten Bitterkeit – leider aber überhaupt nicht tiefgehend oder spannend. Der Abgang ist vernachlässigbar kurz und nicht wirklich aromatisch. Er erinnert mich sehr stark an den kürzlich probierten Botucal Distillery Coll. No. 1 Batch Kettle 47%. 57 Punkte

    Tasted 06-05-2024 Nosing Heavy oak,nuts ,slight fennel , Tasting Oak, cherry , seems quite a charred barrel

    Shopbesuch Rum Paradise Hamburg April 2025. Als nächstes ein Botucal. Ist auch ein etwas süßerer Rum. Vanille und Karamell in der Nase, aber auch etwas Holz ist erkennbar. Am Gaumen kommt dann noch ein Hauch von Schokolade hinzu.
