Online tasting with Joshua Singh. Explosion in your mouth. In a positive sense. Best out of the set for me. Full of esters. Very minty flavor, funky taste, long finish. I love it.
Who would have thought that the Virgin Oak would be my favorite from this series - at the beginning we even left it closed because we thought it would be boring anyway and before it was even tasted for the first time, it ended up in a MaiTai and it was sensational! But a new oak barrel is great when it comes to vanilla and woody notes, which you often don't have on your radar. On the nose, the first association was even bourbon. Then on the palate, in addition to the estery notes, there are also beautiful vanilla and dark wood tones, which then finish off beautifully mild. This one will probably be the first to be empty.
Ein sehr leckerer High Ester Rum. Hatte zwar eine kurze Lagerzeit, aber ich mag sowas ja ganz gerne. Hier überwiegt natürlich der Ester, man hat aber auch tropische Früchte in Nase und Gaumen. Preis/Leistung wirklich top.
Dieser DOK könnte eine etwas längere Lagerung vertragen. Alkohol nicht top eingebunden.
