"Sample wieder gefunden und geleert am 10.8.24 Es gibt zwei Punkte drauf, der Rum bietet einfach soviel Komplexität und diese einzigartige chili Note, die mich auch heute hungrig macht der Rum schreit geradezu nach Food Pairing. Ich würde sagen es braucht mehr davon - vielleicht zwei, drei Jahre länger gelagert aber bitte gebt uns mehr 🙏 Erstverkostung: In der Nase eine echte tropische Fruchtbombe leider der Alkohol zu stark zu spüren. Am Gaumen dann beim ersten Schluck völlig abgefahrenes Durcheinander Chili, Kiwi, Mango. Aber das ganze eher sehr ungezähmt und wenig rund. Beim zweiten Schluck überwiegt am Gaumen die Würze, doch dann kehrt dieser eigenwillige Chili-scharfe Fruchtgeschmack zurück. Definitiv einen Versuch wert diese Abfüllung, sehr eigenwillig. Jetzt hab ich Hunger, wo ist mein Wok? 🌶️🥭"

"Richtig schöne Abfüllung aus Guadeloupe. Für einen 6-jährigen Rum äußerst komplex. Ein paar Punkte der lässt er bei der Integration des Alkohols liegen, aber das ist jammern auf hohem Niveau. In der Nase stärker als am Gaumen. Toller Rum den ich gar nicht auf dem Schirm hatte."

"Overall one of the best molasses based rum from Guadeloupe that I’ve tasted. Sample X a collaboration between Kintra and Rum Mercenary have released this molasses based rum produced by the Bonne Mère distillery, located in Sainte-Rose, Guadeloupe. Bonne Mère started as a sugar factory back in 1863, but since 1973 it’s just the distillery that’s still in operation. This 6 yo single cask rum has matured for 3 years in Guadeloupe, before being transferred to an ex-bourbon cask in Europe for 3 years more of continental aging before bottled brut de fût without cold filtration in 2021 in total of 242 bottles at 59,6%."

"Beautiful, young, wild bottling.The tropical storage is clearly noticeable. For the money, a great rum for advanced drinkers looking for an interesting change.Despite all the different flavor impressions incredibly smooth and oily on the palate. At the end it scratches unfortunately something, alcohol integration not optimal.Solid PLV"
