    Even this lighter version is not so delicios compared to release with high abv for CZ+SK rum community, it is still excellent Trinidad rum. One of my favorite ones for still good money

    Rumový kalendár pavla spačka 6 rx16063 Farba medená Vôňa vanilka, sladkosť, mineralita, mäta Chuť, mäta, silná mätovosť, technickosť, ovocie sladké tóny alkohol je dobre integrovaný Záver: stredne dlhý záver mäta, ovocie, sladké drievko, bylinky Príjemný rumík

    Today I will taste a thinner version of the filling for cz&sk. I usually prefer a higher abv, so we'll see. On the nose you have, technical "dirtiness", vanilla. On the palate you can tell the lower abv, but surprisingly it didn't hurt that much. The mint comes through strongly and is clearly dominant, medium finish with the fruit following. Nice.

    This reminds me of a single malt scotch. To be 100% honest I have tried it 3 times and I guess this is not the one for me. 👃 is mainly wood with hints of vanilla and molasses. 👅 is however another story. First the wood hits you with ita typical oak barrell aroma but later on you get a sense of bitterness as if you were eating herbs for digestion. Last but not least I am sensing an orange peel which complements the bitterness. Overall the herbal notes and sort of malty taste reminds me of scotch and honestly, if I want scotch I will get some. I am not looking for this notes in rum. For me this one is a show stopper although I am sure it will find a way to rumthusiasts.
