How does this rum taste?
The 'Sample X Sample Eleven Special Edition' by The Rum Mercenary & Kintra is a Caribbean rum bottled at cask strength with an impressive 62.2% ABV. Limited to 380 bottles, it offers a complex nose with alcoholic, sour, and grape notes, while the palate reveals barrel and creamy characteristics with charred accents and nutmeg undertones. Aging in ex-Cognac casks imparts a smooth, rounded finish but may overshadow the typical funky notes. Ideal for those seeking a robust spirit, this rum exhibits a balanced interplay of oak and fruit, with some users noting room for improvement in alcohol integration. Explore this special edition for a premium, value-packed experience, as highlighted by enthusiasts.

Also für den Preis kann man definitiv nichts sagen. Nur der Alkohol ist nur anfangs ein wenig mehr als präsent. Mit ein wenig Zeit im Glss wird es aber besser. Als Mixer gibt er auch eine gute Figur ab.
I don't know if my sample is not quite right, but there are such clear off-notes of earth, moss and mold that I can hardly drink it. The alcohol is also very poorly integrated!
Guyana clearly dominates the nose. Beautiful dark notes of plum, pear and wood. Overall very round, soft and pleasing. In the mouth, the alcohol is appropriate for the 62.2%, but is surprising given the gentle nose. Picks me up!
Very alcoholic in the nose. Needs time. French oak comes through. After the alcohol fades away it's a very decent drop. Less Jamaican driven than the normal "eleven". More Foursquare/panama driven.
