Nose and finish come with intense citrus notes. Palate dominated by dried fruits. Not very heavy on „classic“ Versialles notes you would expect from a VSG ie somewhat of a weird animal. Nevertheless a nice expression. Oxidation changes the profile quite noticabley. Less citrus and more dried fruits as well as Versailles notes on the nose. Also nice in it’s „evolved“ form.

Ein weiterer aus der Rare Collection, die mir insgesamt sehr gut gefällt. Eigentlich verrückt, dass diese sehr guten Tropfen noch immer verfügbar sind; steht halt der falsche Name drauf 😉 Nase: wenn der Alkohol erst verflogen ist, eine sehr angenehme und leckere würzig-holzig-röstige Angelegenheit. Weiche, süße Lakritz mit dunklem Ahornsirup und Mokka-Schokolade. Dazu eine feine fruchtige Note von Blutorange, getrocknete Dattel und weicher Dörrpflaume. Etwas frisches und säuerliches von schwarzer Johannisbeere kommt noch, dazu etwas Pfeffer. Am Gaumen auch wieder holzig-würzig mit der weichen Lakritz vorne und etwas Schokolade dahinter. Getrocknete Dattel und Dörrpflaume konsequent auch hier. Etwas mehr Karamell und fast Toffee. Verdammt gut eingebundener Alkohol. Sehr zugänglich + gut

Un rhum décrié par la communauté RumX et encensé par Serge Valentin. Il fallait donc l’acheter et le goûter. Assez déçu à l’ouverture de la bouteille, mais je connais le phénomène… Un nez de vieux cuir, de banane flambée, de sucre brun de thé avec une belle concentration. Une bouche légèrement tourbée avec du gras et du sucre brun. La finale est abrupte, mais du miel et du fût réapparaissent après quelques temps. Le verre vide est splendide d’arômes cachés jusque là. A part à l’ouverture de la bouteille où ce rhum est trop vif, je ne lui trouve que des qualités. Il est parfaitement équilibré et profond. Il pourrait avoir une palette aromatique un peu plus large, mais alors il ferait partie des tout grands Demerara. A acheter avant qu’il ne disparaisse des rayons.

Der Alkohol ist nicht gänzlich perfekt integriert, aber als Liebhaber des Versailles-Profils kommt man hier auf seine Kosten.

Mein erster Rum aus der El Dorado rare collection und ich bin positiv überrascht wie geil der am schwächsten bewertete der Reihe ist. Meiner Meinung nach klar unterbewertet. Nase entwickelt sich schön und am Gaumen einfach lecker nach Lakritz, Trockenfrückten, Dörrpflaume, Holz und braunem Zucker.

a subtile complexity on nose and palate, very balanced but the alcohol is a bit too present. while dried fruits and mango and apricots dominate the nose, on the palate it is the chocolate and wood that rules. Not quite as bodied and heavy as other special releases of DDL

I tried this in a lovely place in genova. Very good rum with a nice complexity and mix of dried fruits. The alcohol could be integrated better, otherwise this could have a 85+ rating The nose reminds me of a hampden 🤔

Gefällig aber mit einer Note von zu lang gezogenen Grüntee.

I have the entire series in more than one copy and I really like them because the releases are good in general. Love the citrus note from nose to finish and the wood and tannins with other fruits in the mix. Lightly dry on the palate. The flavours are still in the glass the day after 😊

Etwas schärfer als der ED EHP 1996, aber mit einem fruchtigeren und für mich interessanteren Profil, daher sehe ich ihn insgesamt leicht vorne.
