    Nice and mature nose. Wood and vanillin forwards with candid herb candy providing depth and complexity. Menthol notes are also present, while this bottling doesn’t strike me with freshness on the nose. Expected notes on the palate embedded in a darker and heavy profile showing some dirt. There is a specific artificial vanillin note, however, which undermines balance somewhat.

    Edit: mittlerweile find ich das Profil doch wieder ganz gut Ein typischer 2003er, viel Minze die sehr dominiert. Gegen den 2003er Samaroli und den TDLRoni probiert. Er ist etwas aggressiver als der Samaroli. Mich holt dieses Profil gerade nicht so ab.

    #4455 05.11.2023 just came back after visiting a former colleague and he offered a few rums to try. I only have notes because I came unprepared 😊 Luckily Thos Was the last and by far the best one. Nose: fresh, wood, mint, caramel, dried fruit and a light smoky note. Palate: oily, wood, mint, caramel, raisin, light smoke. Finish: very long, wood, mint, medium dry, dried fruit. There was a natural sweetness to it and the overall balance was really nice.

    Im direkten Vergleich zum Auld Alliance hat dieser 2003er eine fast anderes Aroma. Der Schwerpunkt liegt hier deutlich auf der würzigen dunkleren Seite. Die frische Minze ist dezent im Hintergrund wahrnehmbar, mehr aber auch nicht. Früchte finde ich so gut wie gar nicht . Erst spät im Abgang erscheinen welche. Alles in allem eine sehr gute Abfüllung, kommt aber an den Auld Alliance nicht heran
