Perola Bellamy‘s Reserve Ruby Rum Meets Port

Most enjoy the cherry-port nose and easy sweetness. Critics find it thin, a bit sharp and unbalanced, with cask and alcohol dominating. Overall seen as a fun, niche sipper for sweet-toothed drinkers.

    Ein leicht süßer, fruchtiger Geruch, etwas nach Kirsche. Auch im Geschmack recht viel Kirsche, etwas pfeffrig und alkoholisch. Der Körper könnte noch etwas mehr an alkoholischem Volumen vertragen, aber insgesamt nicht schlecht.

    Der Ruby Port könnte geschmacklich für mich etwas dominanter sein, aber das Jamaica Fass Finish bringt einen schönen Frucht funk mit rein, da die süße nur vom Ruby Port kommt ist es insgesamt dennoch recht trocken. Quasi ein flüssiger Ruby Port Manhattan!

    Alkohol könnte besser eingebunden sein. Man schmeckt viel Column. Insgesamt nicht ganz stimmig.

    Although it has sugar added i don't find it too sweet. The port finish is not very prominent imo. Still pretty easy to sip and not bad at all for what it costs.
