    How does this rum taste?

    Balcones’ Texas Rum surprises with a distinctive and engaging flavor profile, distilled from molasses in a pot still at a substantial 57.9% ABV. Users celebrate its woody and caramel aromas, layered with roasted nuts, vanilla, and undertones of bourbon. The palate follows with roasted, spicy, and bourbon-infused notes, often described as harmoniously complex with a touch of minty freshness. Though some critique its alcohol integration, the overall experience is captivating and warm, offering a medium-length finish that's both spicy and nutty. Rum enthusiasts find it an ideal sip for a sophisticated yet approachable rum adventure. Whether enjoyed neat or in a cocktail, Texas Rum stands out for its unique American charm.

    Texas Baby. Yeehaw! Sehr spannendes Geschmacksprofil mit holzigen, schokoladigen und Kaffe Noten.

    #6th dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: Chocolate, spicy, dried currants, cinnamon, nutty Palate: spicy, dried currants, cinnamon, roasted nuts, minty The finish is (unfortunately) a bit short with notes of cinnamon, minty, green apples, dried currants. Like a bit winterly Ooh it’s from Texas 😎 Really lovely rum with a nice hint of freh mint. My Prediction: Belize Approx. 55% Approx. 5 years of aging

    Newly presented at the BCB Berlin. Extremely harmonious and complex! A blend of green apple, cinnamony winter baked apple, grape or cassis jelly, citrus peel and green tea with fresh mint, plus some leather, burnt sugar and toasted wood and bourbon. Very tasty and alcohol content is chosen just right.

    Überraschung Nummer 6 kommt also aus Texas. Nachdem dieser Rum schon bei vielen überraschend gut ankam kann ich da nur beipflichten. Sehr ausgewogen mit trockenen Beeren die bis zum Finish präsent sind. Dieser Rum gleitet so dahin am Gaumen. Toll!
