    How does this rum taste?

    Nanayang Whisky Singapore, distilled in 1989 at Guyana's Port Mourant distillery, is a 33-year-old rum aged in a pot still from molasses, with an ABV of 46.7%. Limited to only 203 bottles, it exhibits prominent woody and leather notes, complemented by hints of anise and earthy undertones. Users appreciate its complex nose, featuring woody and red fruit aromas. On the palate, it delivers flavors of cherry and tannins, with a gentle finish. While its aromatic complexity stands out, some find it thin and less integrated due to lower ABV. This rum's unique profile positions it as a notable choice for enthusiasts seeking a well-aged, independent bottling experience by The Whisky Jury.

    Disclaimer: not yet recovered, so my judgment is clouded. Poured a shot of DDL’s 1998 PM, which I like a lot, to compare in parallel. Very similar on the nose, TWJ is even fruitier and typical PM. More bitter on the palate and not convincing but the DDL today is quite similar. So maybe no tasting for the next days

    Ein angenehmer milder PM, jedoch mehr auf der holzigen Seite. Mir gefällt es, dürfte aber nicht jedermanns Geschmack treffen. In der Nase nehme ich zudem etwas rote Frucht und Anis wahr. Gleiches am Gaumen und minimal Olive, neben dem dominanten Holz. So endet auch der Abgang.

    Small 1989 Utivlugt cross tasting: Nobilis vs. CorCol vs. CoR vs. Ricci vs. TWJ. On the nose: CoR >>> Ricci > TWJ = Nob > CC With its higher ABV the CoR is playing in a wholly different league - stunning on the nose. CC needs very much time to open up. TWJ with the darkest nose; Most leather and wood forwards. Palate: CoR > Nobilis > CC > TWJ >> Ricci The TWJ also feels a little watered down to much comparatively. However it is better balanced than the Ricci. Wood and herb forwards.

    #4501 01.12.2023 This one needs to rest for a good while before giving it a go. A pretty nice release with heavy wood notes on one side and a kind of light profile on the other. Medium fruity with a nice licorice touch. The palate is oily and medium dry with a nice smoky touch. The finish long and warm with some citrus. I really like the light smoky note in the profile. The empty glass has some leather and faint caramel.
