    How does this rum taste?

    The AHJ rum, distilled in 1998 at Jamaica's Clarendon distillery and aged for 25 years, is characterized by its pot still production and 56% ABV. Crafted from molasses and bottled by Rest & Be Thankful, this rum presents a dynamic profile. Users highlight aromas of green apple, vanilla, and spice, transitioning to flavors of apple, fruity banana, young wood, and vanilla. Comments reveal a well-balanced alcohol presence with a spicy, sometimes sweet, aftertaste. While its sophisticated nose and fruity, creamy palate are lauded, some note its spice dominance and lack of tropical maturation.

    RumX/Kirsch-Online-Tasting Rest&Be Thankful! 24 Jahre alter Low Ester AHJ (ein altes Mark, ist heute gleich einen MBK), sehr ähnlich dem anderen AHJ. Nase: cremig, mit Zitrusfrüchten, Banane, Stachelbeere und grünem Apfel. Leicht holzig und würzig. Zudem ist da eine feine Honig-Note. Mit der Zeit entfaltet er sich mehr und mehr. Sehr schön und fein. 8,4 Gaumen: deutlich intensiver als die Nase. Sehr süß zu Beginn, mit Honig und vor allem Süßholz. Hat eine sehr cremige, fast speckige Textur. Er ist aber auch leicht salzig-pfeffrig. Alles -auch der Alkohol- gut ausbalanciert. Da gibts noch einiges zu entdecken. Muss mich noch an die low-light Jamaikas heran arbeiten. 7,9

    Ein eher trockener Rum, bei dem die mineralischen und etwas säuerlichen Noten im Vordergrund stehen, dahinter dann die Frucht (grüner saurer Apfel und unreife Bananen). Hat was, brauch ich aber keine ganze Pulle von. Alter Falter, der Preis. Dafür lieber ein schönes Wochenende im Spa einbuchen. Hat man mehr von. 84/100 oder 5/10

    Überrachend schwach an der Nase! Gewürze, Karamell, Honig, Apfel, Himbeer. Im Mund etwas besser und intensiver, immer noch Apfel und Gewürze. Komplexer und langer Abgang, recht scharf, aber auch röstig/rauchig und pflanzlich, sowie süß. Schwer einzsutufen als Gesamtpaket. Wenn die Nase besser wäre, könnte ich mehr Punkte vorstellen.

    Nach dem RumX R&BT Tasting am 7.2. den Rest nochmal mit mehr Ruhe verkostet: Als dritter Rum ein 24jähriger Monymusk mit dem alten Marque AHJ, was nun dem MBK Marque enrspricht. An der Nase ähnlich wie der vorherige MBK, vielleicht etwas weniger ‚zitronig‘ und mehr Richtung winterliche Gewürzmischung. Am Gaumen recht würzig.
