We combine the collective intelligence of our community with an integrated marketplace, allowing you to shop securely and manage your collection directly from the app.
The goal? To offer you, the rum connoisseur, a place where you can choose with confidence—without paperwork, detours, or expert jargon.
In the nose pleasing, but somewhat unimpressive in comparison: More fresh fruit, nice wood sweetness, again slightly floral notes. On the palate, nice wood, smokiness, subtle nougat and caramel sweetness and dried fruit. Solid, although in my opinion on the border of too intense smokiness.
Parallel-Verkostung der Velier Saint James Reihe in der Franconian Tasting Gang. Danke Dom fürs Aufreissen 👌 Alles in Allem ist das Set für mich nicht herrausragend gut sondern eher durchschnittlich mit ein paar Ausreißern nach oben und unten. Kurzzusammenfassung nach Vintages: 2015 & 2014 waren für mich eher unangenehm. 2010 & 2012 besser aber immer noch nichts, was ich nochmal trinken wollen würde. 2008 & 2006 & 2004 waren dann deutlich besser und interessanter. 2002 dann wieder ein Totalausfall (Katzenpisse, die sich zu Multivitamintabletten weiterentwickelt und gar nicht zum Holz passt). 2000 dann wieder gut und 1998 für mich der Beste aus dem Set.
Tasted at a private tasting for a good cause. 9th of the 10 Velier vintages. This had a bit of everything we tasted of all the other vintages. A great mix. Lighter in woodiness than the 2015. Buttery. Creamy but also something weirdy sharp. Lemons. Interesting. In taste: waxy agricole. Subtle wood flavours. More classic dry yet fresh agricole. Some hay. Reminds me a bit of Neisson 105.
Franconian Tasting Gang am 10.05.2024 Zuerst ein großes Dankeschön an DomM, der dieses Set zur Verfügung gestellt hat. Mich persönlich hat es nicht abgeholt das Profil. Bis auf eine Ausnahme ist mir dieser Seifengeschmack too much. Die Reste aus den Gläsern sind aber dann dank DomM und Serge in einem spontanen und überragenden Cocktail gelandet.
