How does this rum taste?
Flashback Series 2-07 is a standout Barbados rum, distilled from molasses in 1996 and bottled at cask strength. Its aroma opens with notes of woody oak, vanilla, coconut, caramel, and dried fruit, while the palate reveals a robust, boldly spiced character that can be tamed with a splash of water. Our community of rum lovers on RumX has shared diverse experiences – from its intense, almost theatrical punch to its gentle transformation when eased.

"I don't really warm up to this WIRD... the nose is smoky, bacony mixed with pastry, the woody roasted dominates with some catamel and pepper... it's certainly good, but not mine Second time in the glass today... and my opinion doesn't change... we don't go together"

"Solid WIRD. This distillery will probably never quite convince me. Very light Barbados style with alcoholic finish."

"I didn’t take any notes at the Rhum Fest so a more detailed review will follow as soon as I get the chance to sample this rum again in a better context. I finally managed to sample this rum a second time and have to say that I’m less enthusiastic about it than at the rhum fest. Lowering my note from 84 to 79 as it makes for a decent sipper but lacks depth and complexity."

"Nez très gourmand même si l'alcool se fait bien sentir. Coco, vanille, bois, épices. C'est engageant. En bouche, c'est chaud et épicé. Le boisé est franc accompagne la vanille, la coco. L'alcool est très présent, trop pour moi, et je le préfère avec une goutte d'eau. Finale plutôt longue. Agréable malgré l'alcool qui aurait pu être mieux intégré. Édit : testé avec un peu d'eau pour le ramener à 55% et je le trouve bien plus agréable. L'alcool est encore très piquant mais laisse plus de place à de la vanille, à un boisé élégant, une coco discrète."
