How does this rum taste?
The Zodiac 2023 Bélier, crafted by Famille Ricci, is a potent rum blend distilled from molasses with a pot still. Aged for 14 to 16 years, it exudes an intriguing aromatic profile of ripe pineapple, mango, and caramelized brioche, with tropical fruit notes accentuated by high ester content. Although its alcohol presence is notable, the interplay between Hampden's robust character and Panama's smoother, sweeter influence creates a harmonious balance. Users appreciate its aromatic vibrancy and complex palate, while some note the alcohol integration could be improved.

Nose: the DOK dominates but the character of the rum from Panama is also noticeable. Overall, however, quite restrained. Palate: Panama is clearly more present here and not much of the DOK is noticeable. The alcohol is not optimally integrated. In the finish, the fruitiness of the Hampden comes through again very nicely. Nice interplay between the two rums! A very successful blend. Unfortunately, the alcohol is quite present, otherwise more than 9 points would be possible.
Successful blend - the DOK is of course tamed, but gets a successful counterpoint by the sweet notes of the Spanish style, which unlike the sherry finishes without the heavy fruit notes. Great addition to the high-ester spectrum, little insider tip.
Blind, of course, a Hampden with high esters. Nevertheless, the beautiful sweetness of the Panama comes through, which softens the doc somewhat. But the typical ester notes in the foreground with pineapple and mango are great.
Tasted with RF2023, so tasting incomplete. Very aromatic right from the nose! The DOK is clearly present, with ripe tropical fruit solvents, and the panama adds a touch of caramelized pastry. Can't wait to taste it and take the time to appreciate it.
