How does this rum taste?

The Nectar of the Daily Drams LBI displays a unique blend of honeyed sweetness and fruity spice, countered by a potent alcohol kick. However, its apparent youth leaves some drinkers wanting, with notable harshness and a lack of overall maturity.

“Has virtually zero in common with the famous representative of Velier, which is not least due to the almost imperceptible maturation. Unfortunately, the alcohol content is also still clearly noticeable even after more than two hours in the glass. With the LBI Marque, of course, high expectations are aroused, but even apart from that, the impression remains with me that here a distillate has found its way into the bottle, which would have done very well with a few more years of maturation.”

“Interesting fresh, green, fruity, almost floral nose: unripe green papaya and still green plantain with green apple. Sweetness of honeycomb and sugar syrup. Above that, a light scent of rose water. Behind that hides some vanilla and mace.Surprisingly different on the palate: blatant licorice, and that soft sweet malty Danish licorice. There's also molasses, licorice, baking spice and some toffee. Also seems somehow chocolaty.In the finish remains this malty and spicy licorice note.The alcohol is very well integrated.Pleases me overall quite well and is something different.”

“Der Bonne Intention ist mir von der Nase bis zum Abgang zu unausgegoren… Die Nase ist noch halbwegs akzeptabel, am Gaumen dann die erste Enttäuschung, der Alkohol ist schlecht eingebunden und dominiert auch nach Bändigung desselben die Aromen. Diese sind durchaus vorhanden, aber von der dunklen würzigen Sorte, ebenso der Abgang. Dieser Rum ist so gar nicht meins”

“I would not have blindly put in Guyana. Rather direction Cuba in barrel strength. Interesting, but for me a bit too wild and sharp-edged. No comparison to his legendary brother from Velier.”

“The nose is quite atypical for a Guyana-almost reminds me of an Agricole. On the palate young citrus, vanilla, alcohol not well integrated. Overall, it seems too young.”

“On pour I could not get anything else than some unaged PM notes coupled with damp moss and ethanol. However luckily enough the smell developped over the next 45+ minutes into something more, something elegant yet powerful. Top notes of coconut water and husks, some apple slices and waves of chewy toffee. Cherry wood chips, with sparse spices. A display of dusty rocks, must and petrichor, followed by green tea. On the palate quite the surprise. Immediately more toffee and coconut, but this time together with both red and green parts of rhubarb. Again cherry wood chips, but the spice is much more present, especially salt. Raw nuts and a synthetic flavour which I can’t really put my finger on. Damp and lightly vegetal with green olives eventually ending in a bouquet of flowers. The finish is medium in length. Heavily salted, raw nuts, some glazed coconut chunks and stewed rhubarb. My expectations were very low after reading some reviews, but this positively surprised me. I suspect some reviewers simply did not let it breathe enough, as it took almost an hour to open up.”

“Sorry, but this is not drinkable. It could also be a xpopular spirit of a South Georgian miner who has never known pre-middle and post-middle and who has co-distilled the blond mane of his favorite pony 🤷.”

“Phew, no thanks. Disappointment in the glass. There is not much happening except alcohol with vanilla. Methinks the quality did not matter, the main thing is that you can slap LBI on it.”

“Lors de l'ouverture de la bouteille rhum peu expressif et décevant mais quelques mois après le changement est radical, au nez chocolat au lait gourmand, fruits juteux et acidulés, en bouche alcool correctement intégré, même notes en bouche avec un léger boisé, mais reste malgré tout trop jeune encore Finale courte légèrement amère”

“Je l'ai trouvé très complexe et evolutif à tous niveaux, nez, bouche et finale. Malgré les nombreuses critiques, je ne le trouve pas si agressif ni si ''jeune'', je pense que le couleur trompe.”
