How does this rum taste?
The "Off-Road Rhum Series #02.1" is a limited edition rum bottled by Vagabond Spirits, distilled from molasses with pot and column stills, and aged for 3 to 4 years. With only 266 bottles produced at a cask strength of 59% ABV, it features prominent notes of vanilla, woody undertones, and hints of coconut and dried apricot. Users have highlighted a strong Jamaican influence over the Barbados components, noting a blend with contrasting woody flavors and candied fruits. Some find the rum challenging to categorize, mentioning its spicy finish reminiscent of gin, making it more unique and experimental for enthusiasts than suitable for traditional cocktails.

Hmm, it's really a bit difficult to classify. I wonder if it's because of the cup I'm tasting it from, as I don't have a glass. 😉 So the cup means I can't make an olfactory assessment. On the palate, however, I always find the rum better the longer it stands. It's somehow thin and spicy at the same time, but has a very interesting spicy note in the long finish that somehow makes me think of gin. Tasted blind, I wouldn't necessarily have guessed rum. Interesting! Oh, and this is a rum that doesn't seem at all suitable for cocktails - unless you're a freak who likes to experiment 😉.
Mhm difficult again. The two components are not clearly recognizable for me here. Still quite nice on the nose, but no real highlight for me in terms of taste. Somehow it tastes a bit like tobacco or an ashtray in the finish.
A relatively pleasant blend, although the Barbados component is almost imperceptible! The nose is quite restrained with a little fruit. On the palate, I perceive burnt caramel, a little wood and spice. Almost no fruit at all. The alcohol is well integrated, light and smooth. The finish is relatively short and unspectacular. Jamaica is definitely dominant in this blend
A fine discovery, it has all the makings of a great one. The balsam of Venice clearly adds an interesting touch, and the blend is very well crafted! Watch out for Off Road... To sum up, my tasting notes: Nose: Coconut, Woody, Dried apricot Mouth: Woody, Cigar, Candied fruit, Licorice, Salty Finish: Salty, Fruity, Woody
