    How does this rum taste?

    The "No. 21C - Savalle Still LBI" from Guyana's Diamond distillery, curated by Nobilis Rum, reflects a bold profile. Distilled in 2013 using a Savalle Still from molasses and aged for eight years, it's bottled at a potent 64.7% ABV. With only 290 bottles released, the rum displays a unique character marked by prominent cocoa and tropical fruit notes. On the palate, woody and vanilla flavors dominate, though the rum's youthful freshness is noted. User reviews highlight its potential but suggest further aging could have enhanced complexity.

    This is part of a series of 3 rums and I like when bottlers try something new or experiment. This particular rum was young and fresh in both bouquet and on the palate, but it still managed to move things around. Fruity and intense without being put of balance.

    A rum in the style of La Bonne Intention, Guyana's former distillery. The nose opens with notes of exotic fruit and citrus, before giving way to the darker profile characteristic of the region. On the palate, the attack is aggressive, with a hint of alcohol, but the darker side returns and envelops the palate with notes of coffee and spices, the fruit here being more subtle. The finish is long, bitter and brutal, with spices, cocoa, tea and dried fruit. A rather hard, harsh and somewhat unbalanced rum. Aeration is necessary to fully appreciate this beverage, but a few more years would have really allowed this rum to gain depth.

    Mein erster LBI. Ich schmecke das Potenzial des Profils. Mir gefällt es sehr gut. Aber wahrscheinlich einfach einige Jahre zu früh abgefüllt. Hoffen wir, dass wir mer davon sehen in Zukunft. Diese Abfüllung ist nicht ganz rund, nicht ganz fertig und der Alkohol ist auf der Zunge zu präsent.

    Jetzt der letzte der drei Nobilis 21… La Bonne Nase: jung, frisch, beißend. Würzig-holzig und fruchtig. Apfel und Kiwi im Vordergrund, dahinter holzig und karamellige Süße, mit, wie bei den beiden anderen auch, Hefe und Brioche. Hier noch etwas Vanille und Kakaopulver. Insgesamt zu jung, zu unreif. 7,6 Gaumen: leider sehr unfertig, scharfkantig, bitter. Holzig-würzig, pfeffrig und leicht verbrannt. Etwas Kardamom ist dabei. Cremige Brioche-Textur. 7,2 Wie die anderen Beiden viel zu früh abgefüllt. Die drei Rums wirken noch nicht fertig. Alle haben aber definitiv Potenzial.
