"#4250 16.09.2023 Whisky N Rum Show 2023 Finally back after a day in Copenhagen. I really hate sitting in a train 2.5 hours each way 😁 Just needed a cool down rum and the new Romdeluxe was the pick. The nose is kind of light and fruity with a bit of funk, ester and polish. The palate on the other hand pretty nice and intense. Light fruit with roasted wood notes and esters. The palate is oily and smooth with a long finish. Draws amazing curtains in the glass and the empty glass has some nutts and light anise. Price to quality is pretty good in my mind."
"There is plenty of power in the flavors here - especially fruity flavors 👍😋"
"Smells and tastes of neutral alcohol with light Hampden notes. Strenuous and pungent alcoholic finish."
"2nd place in my small MJH3 tasting. The first time I tasted it was on the GRF 2024, but it didn't fully convince me there either. This one had more power, but all in all not better than its predecessor. Daily Sipper Top applies here too, but not at the current issue price!"
