Very American Oak driven rum. Not unlike a good bourbon. Nose: lots of American Oak driven flavours. Bit of banana. Lots of vanilla. Malt. Will compare this to a bourbon some day soon. Taste: again all the pleasant American oakiness. Baked banana. Nicely sweet. Pancakes. Cinnamon. Peppery finish. Maple syrop. All in all straightforward in a way but very very tasty. Definitely a U.S. worthy profile.
Again a lot of fresh oak barrel with clear vanilla notes. I like it a lot!
Mein erster Privateer. Erstaunlich charakterstark. Sehr kräftiger Fasseinfluss. Wirkt stärker als die 55%. Im Geruch leider schwach, hintenraus bietet er auch keine weiteren Noten. Schöner Grundstoff mit längerer Reifung ist da sicher mehr möglich.
Ich mag Bourbon und ich mag den Grundcharakter der Belize-Rums. Dieser ‘‘Privateer‘‘ wirkt dabei wie eine gelungene Mischung aus beidem. Es gibt viel getoastetes Holz mit Anklängen von Gewürzen und Menthol, Vanille und Kokosnuss, eine sich rasch verflüchtigende Klebstoffnote sowie etwas Kakao und ein paar Trockenfrüchte. Auch wenn das Aromenspektrum eher überschaubar ist, ist dieser Rum rund, süffig und durchweg angenehm.
