    Delicious navy rum with sweet Demerara backbone, which is gallantly complemented by tropical fruits. In addition, present spicy notes and subtle latte flavors...not settled in the Champions League, but this is still really fun!

    Krasses historisches Destillat. Viel Holz, viel Gewürze, viel Tannine, recht adstringierend. Hat was von kräftigem Kaffee, Lakritz, Zartbitterschokolade, gebrannter Melasse, Bitterorange und Zitronenschale und frisch gebranntes Leder... Kann mir gut vorstellen dass der in der british navy beim rauen seewetter in rauen Mengen die Kehlen hinunter lief! Spannende Erfahrung, danke an Mirco für die Möglichkeit!

    Schmeckt wie abgehangenes Fleisch. Nur sehr muffig. Und Karamell- und Spiritusnoten hinten raus. Viel Geschichte im Glas.

    Da kommt schon richtig Power in der Nase. Ich tippe auf einen recht hohen Jamaika-Anteil - steht ihm sehr gut. Recht frisch aber trotzdem kommen die typischen dunkel, röstigen Navy-Assoziationen durch. Macht richtig Spaß! Vielen Dank an Mirco für die Teilung!
