Black Cat REV

Incredible, complex and very heavy in the best way!

Insanely cool and super palatable REV. Dark chocolate, coffee, prunes, floral notes of lavender and Earl Grey tea. Extremely well-balanced and pleasant to drink with the perfect alcohol strength. Top rum!

Very tasty REV, immediately very accessible thanks to the alcohol content at a slightly higher drinking strength. Great balance of dried plums, leather, licorice, wood, spices...the REV profile presents itself in exquisite form. An excellent release.

The nose is heavy on dark notes with limited notes of dried fruits. Herbal notes and black tea also show up to the party. On the plate this release is very well balanced an elegant. That is looking at it stand alone. In a cross tasting it feels a bit „light“ with less intensity compared to other release. Outstanding is a extra hint of sweetness and elegant herbal / tea notes.

A rum tasted at the GRF in 2024. An interesting nose, woody and roasted with a touch of menthol that balances and refreshes. On the palate, the aroma of varnished old wood dominates the roasted and dried fruit notes. The finish is too short for a rum of this class. But the old wood lingers for a very long time. An undoubtedly good rum, but I'm a little disappointed. Yet it tells a lovely story of an old sailing ship, adrift and abandoned by its crew.

Für die niedrigen Prozente erstaunlich viel Geschmack. Eher weniger fruchtig, weniger Pflaume, grenzwertig holzig und bitter.

Really very good Enmore

This rum is very dark. The nose is quite smooth, not as strong as with higher ABV rums. Herbal, floral and woody notes, along with wood, dried fruits and prune. There are also coffee and chocolate tones. Palate gives dried fruits, wood, with chocolate, spicy and iodine notes. The alcool is more present. Finish medium to long, with coffee, licorice, and chemical notes. It's a very good rum, a slightly higher ABV wouldn't have been bad though.

Nice REV, not overtaken by the molasses, interesting "medicinal" notes in the background. I don't really miss higher ABV in this one, as it had quite good intensity, but I can imagine this would be 9+ rum for me in higher strength.

Compared to the 94Rev tasted by Trc ...., it seems so flat that I almost gave it even fewer points. But on its own it definitely has the typical REV markers of plum, chocolate, tobacco and leather and definitely has a complex fruitiness/maltiness that I find difficult to define more precisely. In itself a really great rum, but compared to the TRC it seems a little alcoholic and thin - I would probably have rated it much higher without the direct comparison.

Tasted at UK RumFest 2024. Tried alongside the White Cat. Both were great and the Black Cat the slightly better of the two. Interestingly both rums were on the list to be bought with Golden Tots but the team on the stall were happy to offer tastings for free.

Very tasty in itself, but somehow lacks a little strength.

11/2024 Trnava I really like Versailles and this one did not disappoint. Lots of intense dark chocolate, wood, tobacco, coffee, prunes. For me, less of the sweeter fruitiness I've discovered in some REVs. The finish is a bit bitter, but not too much. I definitely recommend trying it!

So weak on nose, but such a nice REV94 profile in mouth. But - why the hell is the ABV so low? +10% and it would be amazing!

Tasted at German rum festival I love this rum. Very balanced distinctive Guyana. To expensive in price in my opinion.
