8,3:On the nose, the first impression we get is smoky and fruity with bourbon and dried fruits like prunes, raisins, a bit leathery, flowery and medicinal with petrol note, as the wood is roasted with caramel, chocolate. On aeration, it becomes spicy with anise, the molasses is herbal and minty, there is pleasant citrus that balances roasted notes.Some tannins and bacon might appear after resting....and candied banana 8,4:On the palate, the attack is smoky and fruity with dried fruits like raisins, apricots, citrus and yellow fruits, the wood is charred and spicy with milk chocolate, caramel, roasted nuts.It is round, balanced. The molasses is vegetal with eucalyptus, mint, a bit waxy. After resting the rum, delicious confectionery with nougat, toffee, vanilla pops up, a bit malty, creamy...the banana is still candied ... 8,4:The finish is long with charred wood smoky notes like caramel, roasted nuts, bbq, cocoa, minimally tannic, confectionery with crunchy bread.The fruits are dried, citrus and yellow.In the end the rum is floral and we also might think of tasting fruit compote with orchard fruits and spice like clove...

If you want to get to know a typical 98 Sancti SpÃritus at the beginning of your unsweetened rum passion, you can confidently reach for this rum. It's typical because the green apple and fresh, slightly bitter mint markers already stand out clearly. I still like this profile, even though this rum has been diluted too much for my taste; it could have done with a little more horsepower under the hood (to stay with the Cuba image: the Chevy body has remained, but the 8-cylinder has been replaced by a Lada engine).
Surprisingly present for a Cuban with slightly bitter mint notes.
Im Test heute mal wieder drei verschiedene Rums aus Cuba. RX18127 RX21972 und RX14970. Mein Fazit, dass der RX21972 mit Abstand der klare Verlierer ist. Die anderen beiden liegen auf einer Ebene, aber konnten in die höheren Sphären bei mir nicht aufsteigen. Getestet pur und natürlich mit Limette, Cola und Eis.
