Naga Shani PX Cask Finish

Oh wow, a really surprisingly good rum. It's very, very slightly sweet, but mega okay. On the palate it has a nice honey flavor, vanilla, caramel and tropical fruits. This rum is really surprisingly good :-)

Pure raisin! Rarely experienced so much sherry influence, but here it fits paradoxically and is not unpleasant. Coconut chips, caramel, candied fruit and slightly vinous aromas. I like it surprisingly well. Very drinkable when it can be a little sweeter.

I really like it! The rum has beautiful tropical notes and a harmonious sherry touch.

Very drinkable rum thanks to the PX finish. Delicious and round.

Heavy, opulent sweetness. Sugar accentuated in the profile, but with further nuances. Very drinkable.

A rather special rum from Indonesia, whose finish makes the nose ultra liquorish and sweet, both confusing and sickening in the long run. Red fruits and grapes join the festivities for a mellow concentrate that borders on overdose. Clearly not the most appealing nose. Fortunately, the rum makes up for it on the palate, becoming more accessible and a little more docile in its flavors. While we still feel the main markers (coconut, sweet notes, orchard fruits), the spices, particularly cinnamon, and the touch of alcohol reminiscent of wine and bourbon give the profile a little openness. The finish is quite long, sticky on the teeth, leaving a lasting imprint on the palate of fruit, caramel and alcohol. However, it's that hint of tannic woodiness on chocolate and coffee that makes the difference. A very special rum that won't suit everyone.

Tasted at the Whisky & Rum aan Zee festival IJmuiden 2023.

Round taste experience with an intense, natural sweetness. Takes some getting used to on the nose. Delicious honey, raisins and red fruits on the palate, accompanied by wood, chocolate and a hint of coffee. My wife doesn't really like unsweetened rums, but she was able to make friends with this one.
