Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 34 2011 12yr 54,5%

"An exciting rum, with intense flavors! Somehow from two different worlds, on the one hand Agricole, on the other hand more towards molasses. The interplay between fruit, plant aromas and spices provides an experience on the tongue. The longer it lingers and especially in the finish, the Agricole note comes out. I like quite well"

"Strong cinnamon note, burns a little in the finish. Absolutely strong."

"Really stunning Barazil rums I had now not yet in the glass. Here I find especially the 6-year maturation in Amburana barrel interesting... Nose: powerful and intense. Initially, the alcohol does cut a bit. I immediately notice a pleasant, full tobacco note, old pipe tobacco. Also very woody, but not bitter, rather dry, fragrant cedar. In fruit I find dried apricot, red apple, blackberry and some black currant. Some vanilla and red pepper round out the lovely nose. Reminds me a bit of the New Grove Acacia. 8,3 Palate: the nose continues on the palate. For me, cigar tobacco predominates. Also salty-bitter-woody with dried apricot, blackberry and black currant. Some red pepper and old cinnamon powder add spice. It is powerful and has nice volume. 8,1 I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised. I like these strong scented wood flavors from slightly different wood barrels than usual. The intense tobacco note with the subtle fruit is a nice blend. Good Brazilian!"

"Quite nicely done. It is only a shame that the amburana finish is so strong. While not being a bad flavor in it self, it does cover the rum heavily. I really would have loved to discover that one separately as well. Still quite the pleasent drink"

"Auf jeden Fall spannende Abfüllung. Amburana-Fass kannte ich bislang noch nicht. Hier trifft Agricole mit pflanzlichen Noten auf jede Menge Zimt. Alkohol könnte etwas besser integriert sein. Muss man mögen."

"#4699 12.04.2024 Relaxing after a very intense week at work. Nose Round, balanced, wood, spice, fruits, cinnamon, sugarcane, light vegetal. Palate Spicy, medium dry, wood, light roasted, spice, earthy, light salt, light nutts, cinnamon, fruits. Finish Medium to long, wood, cinnamon, light nutts, faint coffee. The empty glass has some faint chocolate, berries and herbs. Price to quality is very good in my mind."

"Ein schöner Rumclub hier Brasil Edition No. 34. Hat eine schöne Nase bestehend aus Zuckerrohr und Vanille sowie etwas Zimt. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls Zuckerrohr, Vanille und Zimt sowie etwas Schokolade. Alkohol gut eingebunden."

"Wow was für ein leckerer Rum. Hätte echt nicht soviel erwartet. Alkohol ist sehr gut eingebunden und man riecht direkt den Zimt heraus der auch im Abgang dominiert. Hier kann ich eine klare Empfehlung geben."

"For me, the first Brazilian, which I try pure. Accordingly, I went into the tasting without expectation and was pleasantly surprised. Initially still an alcoholic spiciness in the nose, surprise me pretty quickly notes of cinnamon, tobacco and unripe currants. The spicy, herbal and fruity notes are accompanied by a woody note. On the palate, the already familiar notes from the nose predominate. Unfortunately, starting at the tip of the tongue, an unpleasant spiciness spreads across the tongue. The medium-long finish ends in tobacco flavors as well as a slightly woody component. An exceedingly interesting debut that I enjoyed very much. Probably 0.1 or 0.2 points more would have been possible, had it not been for the disturbing sharpness."

"Incredibly much cinnamon bark, spicy, dry and heavy by the amburana maturation. Great stuff for a single cask cachaca!"

"Very special, but also really excellent! Notes of coconut, cinnamon and Armagnac."

"Interesting above all because it's somehow different. Lots of cinnamon on the nose. Then nice and fruity on the palate, but also plenty of cigar. Almost a little too much for me. Relatively dry but never boring. Perhaps not outstanding but definitely worth a rum trip. Brazil can do more than just cachaca 👍"
