Hab einen alten St. Gilles probiert, welcher diesem sehr ähnlich ist, vor allem in der Nase. Jedoch ist dieser sehr viel dichter mit mehr Charakter aber vor allem Komplexität. Gefällt mir sehr gut..
RumX Rarities day 9. A heavy, herbaceous, woody, angelica and amarena cherry nose. The alcohol is very well integrated, the oak is very present but not heavy. Amarena cherry and bitter herbs. Very long finish, still with the same flavors. The empty glass exhales warm, heavy perfumes. A very fine rum, very consistent in its aromas. My money was on a 1980 Damoiseau.
A Grand Arôme de Martinique rum from a bygone age, distinguished by its fine aromas. The nose is elegant and old-fashioned, evoking rancio, aromatic herbs, old leather, spices, cocoa wood and red, dried and exotic fruits. You can tell that time has taken its toll. On the palate, the rum is elegant, refined and delicate, but with a certain liveliness that suits it perfectly. A balance between finesse and power is achieved, with dried fruit (prune), herbaceous and floral notes contrasting with old leather, spices and honeyed notes of nougat, marshmallow and caramel. The alchemy between the flavors is very good. The alcohol is very well integrated. The finish is long and dry, returning to more bitter notes, rancio and herbal aromas. Spice and woodiness line the palate with cocoa, dried fruit, caramel and nougat. A particularly well-preserved and aromatic piece of history, to be savored at its best.
the #9 from the Rarities calendar. On the nose there are red fruits with a slightly sour touch, plus beet or earthy notes, herbal candy and old barrel...on the palate tobacco, nutmeg, herbs and somehow surprisingly sweet. A wacky piece that I really enjoy!
