“For me, again clearly better than what the community thinks. Tastes slightly fruity and woody to me, but very tasty. Also has more like the standardized 40% :) e A normal rum, suitable for beginners.”

“Time to finish up 1423's "24 days of Christmas" (the blue edition). The rum from day 21 is from Africa. It has a malty whisky-like nose to me. In the notes I'm getting interesting hints of wine, fruits and a rather long malty finish”

“Secret South African distillery. Only one I know is Mhoba (goood!!!). This is not Mhoba. Smells like a whisky blend. A tad grainy. Sweets. A bit superficial. Not a big fan. Taste: blended whisky still. Dry/tannins. Wood. A bit smoky. Cheap. It taste cheap. Not too bad though but unbalanced. Not a fan.”

“What an interesting rum: from a former English colony, but reminiscent of Agricole notes and then still matured in the Solera process? well, the result is not bad but not overwhelming either. slightly fruity, herbal and clear molasses”

“Na jednu stranu docela zajímavý kousek. Hodně ovocný, do citrusů, osobitý, ale na druhou stranu působí i lacině alkoholově s náznakem něčeho umělého. Málokterý rum mě nechá takto rozpolceného. Chutná, nechutná, fakt nevím 😃”

“It is similar to Jamaican rums only like it's diluted mild version. It reminds me of a Jamaican funky rum by 60%. It holds the funkiness that is characterstical of Jamaican rum, with spiciness, burnt sugar and sort of a freshness. Medium long finish. Definitely one of the more interesting rums in 2022 advent calendar. Retasting the sample from 2024 calendar by 1423 and 👃 is not very pleasant I am catching some wine aromas and wood and hint of agricole. 👅 is better, similar to jamaican rums as previously stated. A bit sharp and spicy with hint of vanilla in the finish.”

“Spicy, fruity nose of banana, prune and raisin. On the palate, it is slightly woody, spicy (especially the liquorice stick) and honeyed. The length is very short. A rum that does not showcase South Africa.”

“24 Days of Rum, Blue Edition, Day 21 Sehr reiches, fruchtig-würziges Bukett, das sich aus der zweiten Lagerung in Portwein-Fässern ergibt. Der sorgt übrigens auch für den leicht rötlichen Farbstich. Mir gefällt diese Kombination gut, schließlich mag ich beides: Port und Rum. Allerdings verfliegt der erste reiche Eindruck in der Nase zügig und es bleibt nach ca. 10 Minuten vor allem der Port und seine Hefe im Glas. Am Gaumen sorgt auch wieder der Port für den weichen, würzigen Eindruck, der sich im Abgang fortsetzt.”

“Sample no.24 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2022. Dried raisins and sweet on the nose, some alcoholic sting to it but at 46% abv that is expected. Palate has same notes of dried fruit with ripe banana in the end. The fermented/funky I’m guessing comes from it beeing pot stilled and the flavours get more intense. Woody and banana after the sip.”

“Tento rum mi přišel zajímavější ve vuni než v chuti. Ve vuni mi dominují ovocné tóny banánu a citrusů a slibuji sladkost. V chuti je něco hraveho a potvrzuje se tropické ovoce. Zároveň by mu slušela trochu vyšší voltaz. Celkově mi prijde dost jemný”
