"Schöner Bielle! Intensiv und vielschichtig. Für eine Top-Bewertung könnte der Alkohol aber etwas besser eingebunden sein."
"Wunderbar typischer Bielle. Schöne aromatische Komplexität mit Holzsüsse, Kräutern, schweren Früchten…tolle Auswahl."
"Back to the best time of the year 🤤🥃 #1st advent RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: Minty, fruity, rubber, woody, roasted. Palate: Minty, rubber, caramel, black tea, roasted, woody, barrel notes, floral. Finish: long, minty, woody, barrel notes, a bit a astringency, chocolate, at the end it‘s get more floral, herbal, notes of the sugarcane = agricole like. On the palate the alcohol starts very spicy, but then it‘s gets better. I enjoyed this a lot. Just a great start👍🏻🥃 Chapeau RumX Team My Prediction: Guyana PM Approx. 50% Approx. 20 years of aging"
"der erste aus dem RumX Kalender. An der Nase würzig (Muskatnuss, Piment), getrocknete Aprikose, Kräuter, Fass und Karamellsüße. Am Gaumen ziemlich kräftige, röstige Noten und irgendwie etwas medizinisches (Krankenhausflur). Guter und interessanter Bielle, aber auch noch Luft nach oben, zu den ausgezeichneten Les Rhum Vieux Abfüllungen."
