    Day 24 RumX calendar What an unusual rum! I couldn't place it in any corner! St. Lucia I would never have suspected! Black Adder was almost 100% certain for me due to the charcoal residue in the glass! The flavors are more on the herbal side, but harmonize neatly as the spices provide good contrast! I like the St. Lucia very much

    St. Lucia 99 is simply brilliant! The red fruits, tobacco, vanilla, leather...wonderful! Perhaps the Nobilis No. 17 SLD was still a kleinwenig rounder on the nose, but for this the Blackadder is brutally gripping on the palate, with charred wood, fresh mint and long finish...

    #24th dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: minty, oak, barrel, fruity, oak Mouth: Minty, oak, barrel, fruity, oak, vanilla, caramel Finish: long, woody, barrel notes, tar, tannins, dry, astringent very delicious rum 🤤The alcohol is integrated very well Looks like a T.D.L ca.60% max. 20 Years

    This was a huge surprise and the price for this release has gone through the roof. I consider myself lucky to have tried it and I couldn't get a bottle at this tasting. Wound have loved one on my shelf to surprise people. Intense and fruity with some nice floral notes. Warm/spicy on the palate and very good ABV integration. Lightly dry on the palate with a very long finish. If you get a chance you should try it!
