    How does this rum taste?

    The S.B.S Guyana ICBU is a limited-edition rum from Guyana's Uitvlugt distillery, selected by 1423 World Class Spirits. Distilled from molasses in 1998 and aged for 24 years, it offers a complex aroma of wood, dried fruit, cocoa, and coffee. On the palate, expect notes of dark chocolate, dried fruit, and roasted flavors with a pronounced woody undertone. While appreciated for its nuanced flavors, some users find the alcohol integration lacking, giving it a thin texture. Despite its cask strength of 56.4% ABV, opinions suggest it can seem diluted. Available on RumX, a platform for reviews and sales.

    Interesting profile, alcohol could be better integrated

    Now already tasted several times on different days (my only ICBU), is still not more to get out of this rum - it remains a rum in the lower 80 points range.While on the nose in the later course nice walnut notes peek out of the initial sweetness, the rum can not really convince me on the palate: As crazyforgoodbooze already wrote here, the rum seems strangely thin and alcoholic at the same time. This ICBU is not bad, but also truly no sensation. Conclusion: for the relatively high price of at least 200 EUR, there are clearly better rums. Too bad.

    A very light color, a nose dominated by alcohol, with wood, varnish, banana and a slight encaustic. The alcohol is better integrated on the palate, but the aromas don't come through. Despite the high ABV, dilution is noticeable, with ghostly aromas of varnished wood, stale rose and some tropical fruit. The empty glass exudes encaustic wood. It's as if the bartender had replaced the bottled rum with neutral alcohol so as not to get caught.

    Can not convince me completely. Keeps despite the long aging time still a fresh green note, in addition join sweetness and especially spices. The wood is primarily noticeable through smokiness, which also gives the rum some bitterness. Unfortunately, the alcohol is not completely integrated, but also therefore not completely convincing for me.
