    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!

    Un rhum historique qui est remarquablement bien conservé, à l’épreuve du temps. Le nez est très parfumé, pris en étau entre les notes sombres, douces et épicées de Guyana (pruneau, réglisse, anis, café, chocolat, caramel, mélasse, torréfaction) et les arômes lourds et étonnamment bien fruités encore de Jamaïque (fruits exotiques). Les notes florales, de tabac et de thé noir apportent une fraîcheur bienvenue. Un rhum assez complexe, mais complet et évolutif. L’attaque en bouche est très élégante. Les épices donnent un petit coup de fouet, tandis que les fruits et les notes douces de Demerara contrebalancent avec plus de rondeur. On retrouve également le chêne, le tabac, des notes d’herbes aromatiques et de thé noir. La texture est huileuse et souple, rendant le rhum très agréable tant en termes de consistance que de goût. L’alcool est très bien intégré, sûrement assagi avec l’âge, mais il est vraiment dans un optimum entre le vieillissement et la fougue des saveurs. La finale est plus sèche, plus tannique et un poil plus subtile. L’amertume et les notes torréfiées sur le café et le cacao, ainsi que le boisé tannique et le cuir, confèrent une coté lourd plus prononcé. Les fruits, le thé noir et le tabac ont pris le pas sur les épices, avec quelques notes de caramel et de mélasse typique de Demerara. Un joli morceau d’histoire, qui on espère sera préservé du temps.

    Ein wunderbares Stück Rum-Geschichte. Toll integrierter Alkohol, cremig im Mund, gutes Zusammenspiel aus Guyana- und Jamaika-Elementen, Trinidad ist eher weniger präsent. Für die höchsten Weihen fehlt etwas Komplexität, trotzdem ein Privileg, im Jahr 2023 einen Rum wie diesen trinken zu dürfen. Dafür herzlichen Dank an Mirco!

    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!
