Had this bottle on the shelf for a long time and someone wanted a sample so I opened it. Lots of herbs, slight bitterness. I like the apple notes and the slightly chocolaty finish. Update 5.5.24: Still a good drinkable rum, alcohol could be a bit better integrated at this strength. Recommended if you want to escape from the eternal Jamaica Guyana Trinidad pendulum to other flavor regions
Ja dieser Rum gefällt mir. In der Nase kommt er schön frisch und fruchtig daher. Im Gaumen dagegen kommt er eher würzig daher. Ausserdem ist eine leichte Würze zu schmecken und auch Gebäck kann man schmecken. Lecker.
Unusually herbal and apple-like (green Granny Smith) for a Spaniard. But these typical light smoke, nut and caramel notes can also be found here, as is often the case with El Salvador, but here with a much more herbal touch! Overall really very complex and exciting to drink. And you can't go wrong for the money it cost back then anyway! ♥️
A quick taste before the bottlekill 😉 Conclusion, in line with the price. 😀 It's not round, but very sharp for the few percentages, both on the nose and on the palate. Once the spiciness has faded a little, fresh floral and spicy aromas appear. The palate is also spicy at first, then lots of wood, bitter almond, roasted aromas and a certain fresh note. All with a rather thin mouthfeel and a bitter, woody finish.
