Trotz der vielversprechenden Statistiken nichts halbes und nichts Ganzes. Auch kein schlechter Rum, aber kaum Charaktermerkmale.
Aged a proud 18 years (14 of them tropical), in cognac and TDL barrels, and I imagine you can tell by the nose. Less the strawberry and bourbon vanilla notes (as with the CdI Savanna 2007/12 bottled for Germany), rather grape / raisin,wood and leather. In the background a slightly minty freshness. On the palate vanilla, bacon, pipe tobacco, transitioning to toasted fiber and a slightly dirty menthol note. Certainly not everyone's cup of tea, but for me it fits together well.
02-09.04.2022 This was crazy week, where some friends and I rented a nice summerhouse on Rømø. The plan was to go nuts for a whole week with different rums without going overboard. The final agreement came to 6 rums a day and then enjoy nice walks or ferry rides during the day. Day 3 Notes Dark in colour. Nose Medium intense, light wood, light mint, cherry, dried fruit, esters. Palate Balanced, round, berries, wood, faint leather, light mint, faint chocolate, esters, medium spicy. Finish Medium long, wood, berries, light mint, esters, light tobacco, faint leather.
Die Nase empfinde ich relativ verhalten, dafür ist der Gaumen recht kräftig und eher auf der würzig, holzigen Seite, etwas frisches und gedörrtes rotes Obst ist auch dabei! Im Abgang ist viel Menthol und etwas Frucht, Nicht überragend aber gut 👍🏻
