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!
