Cree (Oak Aged Caribbean Rum) WPH

So, here we have a WPH. The receives us on the nose first politely with a lot of fruit that animates to try downright. Now I knew it but it is also easy to recognize that this rum has once again seen a whiskey barrel from the inside. For this, the taste of grain that comes through here is just too clear. Slightly peaty find him then also. Unfortunately, this dominates the great fruit notes just too much and ends in a dry finish. Already good to drink but there was sunk for me too much in the finish.

According to other reviews this is a very polarising rum. I'm curious. Tasted a slightly peated whisky before this. N: standard tropical funk/banana of WP. Young wood. Pencil shavings. A bit hot and bity. Not that different. A tad more woody. Taste: yeah okay this is weird. Sweet and syropy. Definitely a peated cask. Strangely light. Not so bad as some might think. The WP dna is still there, the mouthfeel is a off though. Some pepper in the aftertaste. All in all a nice experiment and probably an Islay whisky cask. Would have used this for blending. Still not as bad as some rated it. Very drinkable.

Whiskey-Rum oder Rum-Whiskey😂 Ein rauchiger Zeitgenosse, der wohl eher der whiskeyfraktion gefallen wird. Das Worthy Park Profil kommt trotzdem ganz gut durch und allem in allen gar nicht schlecht kombiniert. Der Alkohol ist auch einigermaßen gut eingebunden.

The nose is fruity and smoky. Actually still quite tasty. The whisky finish takes over on the palate and in the finish. But I've been drinking such strange/bad/interesting rum creations for the last 11 days that it doesn't stand out so negatively 😂 The nose pulls the overall rating up a bit.

According to the label, a WPH. You don't see that often. Foamy. Relatively bright, certainly continental aged. Nose: Hmm. Hardly a trace of esters at first. A few yellow fruits and ... Smoke, relatively clear, but nothing to scare off the Islay spoiled nose. Palate: Whew. Ashy smoke of the "cold ashtray" brand. Tastes like stale Islay whisky. Ester? Fermented fruit? Glue? Not at all. If there was anything, the smoke flattens it out. At least the alcohol is well integrated. Finish: Long. Unfortunately. No friends, not like that. If Islay Finish, then that belongs on the label. I love Islay whisky... but this one is dead smoke. Need a Laphroaig now to rinse.

Hm... I would describe this bottling times as a nice try! Is but nichg really succeeded, tastes more on the whiskey side, but not particularly good

The nose is elusive. I would have expected more esters and especially more Worthy Park banana in a WPE. Instead, there is grain and smoke. The palate confirms it. Here we have yet another rum that was in an Islay cask (Bowmore or even Laphroiag?) There is not much left of the rum. I have the feeling to taste a fruity Islay whiskey. In the aftertaste, the banana makes it again to the perceptual limit. What a washout! Also annoying that the cask type is once again not declared on the bottle!

You could also sell it to me as Islay, not mine.

Edit: as I'm trying out the Easter calendar at the moment, I thought of it again and had to lower it again extremely Sorry, I don't even want to describe or analyze this one. This thing has nothing to do with rum. This is how I imagine it when I have to lick out an old peaty whisky barrel on the island after getting up. And that's not my thing at all. I'm really wondering if I still have a very artificially sweet rum somewhere to neutralize it. If you like whisky you should try it, but the rest of you should keep your hands off it. Edit: I also tried it again with cola and ice, but before I try that again, I'd rather buy another sweetened Jim Beam around the corner at the discount store, the better choice.
