    "Sehr schöner "all day sipping" Rum 🥂 super floral, fruchtig und klar der Sherry ist sehr dominant aber eben auch sehr harmonisch und macht das ganze eben auch gefährlich süffig!🤤 nur der Alkohol könnte minimal besser integriert sein..."

    "Der Sherry ist deutlich zu schmecken und er ist ein absoluter Sipper. Klar er ist nicht so genial wie beispielsweise der RA zuletzt, er gefällt mir aber trotzdem sehr."

    "Australien ok, aber Sherry schreckt mich erst mal ab. Das brauche ich einfach nicht mehr beim Rum. Egalisiert einfach den Grundstoff. Aber mal sehen… Nase: intensiv und kräftig. Zu Beginn ordentlich süßlich-rauchig mit viel alter, kalter Zigarre. Dahinter eine Fruchtmischung aus Kirsche, Brombeere und ganz leicht Papaya. Der Sherry-Ausbau übernimmt hier mächtig das Ruder. Geschwefelte Rosine komplettiert diesen Eindruck. Hinten kräftige malzig-karamellige Süße und Hefeteig. Trotz meiner Abneigung von Sherry, objektiv eine schöne Nase. 80 Gaumen: was ist das? Hat der Dosage? Oder war da noch ein ordentlicher Schluck Sherry drin im Fass? Total süß! Dattelsirup pur. Dazu rauchig und Sherry. Vielleicht noch Feige. Der Australia ist da kaum noch zu schmecken. Das ist mir zu plump. Habe ich aber auch irgendwie erwartet. 50 Gut trinkbar als Süßrum ist er allerdings schon…"

    "Butterblume, Feige, Traube und Kekse an der Nase…das PX Sherry-Finish gefällt mir hier irgendwie nicht so gut, es unterdrückt die frischeren (Zitrus-)Fruchtnoten, wie sie beispielsweise beim Velier Beenleigh 2015 oder dem RumClub Ed 20 schön durchkommen. Am Gaumen Karamell und röstige Noten. Kein Komplexitätsmonster."
