    How does this rum taste?

    The Spirit of Art Saint Michael rum, distilled in 2001 at Barbados' Mount Gay distillery and released by Valinch & Mallet, offers a complex aroma of marzipan, lemon, and woody notes. Aged for 22 years, it's crafted from molasses and presents flavors of orange peel, oak, and cinnamon with a 51.1% ABV. Although opinions vary, many admire its balance between age and flavor depth. Despite some criticisms of the mouthfeel and complexity, users appreciate its controlled woodiness and harmonious finish. As a limited edition release, with only 273 bottles available, this rum is a coveted and sophisticated tasting experience for enthusiasts.

    #4121 First off, price to quality is pretty good in my mind. Intense and fruity with a well balanced ABV. Despite the age the wood isn't dominant but rather well balanced with the other flavours. Draws really nice curtains in the glass and the empty glass is very nice and I can pick up some chocolate and pineapple.

    Very good, round, somewhat astringent Mount Gay.

    Ist glaube ich mein erster Rum der Destillerie, und gefällt mir leider nicht so sehr. Nase geht noch, Geschmack dann weniger.

    Eine schöne Nase, die dann am Gaumen leider nicht liefern kann.
