Absolut crazy wie intensiv salzig, speckig und rauchig grün dieser Rum schmeckt. Grüne Paprika, speck, Meersalz und Grüne spanische pimientos del padron. Ultra lecker und außergewöhnliche Aromatik! Muss ich im Daiquiri testen.
On the nose I first got stagnant saltwater puddle, but also hot dog water, olive brine, sun-dried bagasse and rancid coconut. From a distance I get sweet beets and a bit of that smell you get in humid Spanish forts from the sixteenth century. The palate is hard to describe but I get rubbery notes, salt-infused cane juice, blanched spinach, olive oil, and watercress. Someone with a better trained palate than mine might get lots of other nuances. The finish is short to medium but it’s got this fading sweetness reminiscent of artificial sweeteners (e.g. aspartame), and of course, the residual heat from the 54.6% ABV.
The nose is very similar to the regular Paranubes Oaxaca rum, but the tastes and finish do differ. While you still get the heavy olive notes, the tastes is much more salty in the Criolla. Th finish is a bit more cloying with some menthol and solvent being more pronounced. Not my favorite expressions, it may take time to find a use for this rum.
super meaty, not my cup of tea at all...
