Seems more mature than the 2 years younger SWR 2001 from SBS with stronger wood notes. The dried fruit with apricot remains present in the taste but as with the younger. The nose is very inviting, besides oak a smell of cappuccino spilled over its already somewhat aged leather wallet. The alcohol is excellently integrated and the creamy texture goes well with the full flavor experience.
A lively, deep nose of coffee, licorice, old wood and a fresh, mentholated side. Velvety smooth on the palate, with an explosion of aromas! Dark but complex aromas, always balanced by vegetal, minty and licorice notes. The finish is long, with all the aromas lingering on the palate. Another medieval rum that tells a story of fortified castles, wooden bridges and deep cellars.
Ein Volltreffer! Der 2001er Jahrgang aus Guyana weiß zu überzeugen. Dieser Rum ist nicht sonderlich komplex. Kaffee, Schokolade, Leder, rote Trockenfrüchte, Röstaromen,... Sehr geschmeidig und angenehm am Gaumen, der Alkohol ist perfekt eingebunden. Dieser Rum ist gezähmt, zeigt absolut keine schärfe oder pfeffrigkeit. Wenn der am Gaumen noch etwas "fetter" wäre und die Aromen direkter, fände ich ihn noch besser. Andere mögen dieses unterschwellige und geschmeidige Aromenspiel mehr. So oder so, ein super Rum und ein excellenter Guyana!
Very well balanced and elegant showing here. Some of the other bottlings show a little more punch and intensity, while this is just very pleasing to sip.
