    This rum has got some crazy flavours!!! Very interesting stuff. The nose is so complex I could sniff it several minutes and still find something new. Dominant notes I got were all kinds of olives (most dominant one), brine, nail polish, but also very concentrated dried and fragrant flower petals. The taste is very concentrated, full bodied, mostly I get lime, unripe pineapple and some technical notes accompanied by chilli-like spiciness. The finish is quite long with medicinal disinfection, petrol, rubber and again, olives and tropical fruits.

    Ganz ganz komisches Destillat!😅🫣 Olivenlake, Thai Basilikum, Kümmel, künstlich wirkende undefinierbare Aromen, blumig, gleichzeitig wie Benzin und verbranntes Plastik mit einer super seltsam und fehl am Platz wirkenden Süße und Floralität.... Sorry aber der geht so gar nicht an mich ran. Zu dem Preis schon Mal erst Recht nicht...

    Spirituosenzirkus 24.05.2024 im Haus der Musik. Sample. Interessante Nase. Lösungsmittel, Nagellack, Plastik, tropische Früchte, Kräuter und Oliven in Lake. Kräftig, warm und ausgewogen. Im Mund extrem öliges Mundgefühl. Der Geschmack ist schwierig zu beschreiben, ich versuche zu assoziieren: Plastik. Karamell, tropische Früchte, nochmals Früchte, chemisch, künstlich… Sehr komplex. Der Abgang ist kurz und schwach. Ein interessanter Rum abseits ausgetretener Pfade, keine Ahnung, ob ich ihn mag, oder auch nicht.🤔🤔🤔

    WL 2024 Mon OVNI du salon cette année, je ne l'avais pas goûté en 2023. Solvant, colle, saumure, vinaigre de câpres le nez n'est pas franchement envoûtant. Pour le goût, je me suis rappelé des anniversaires de mes enfants, quand je dois gonfler une quarantaine de ballons pour la décoration. Heureusement qu'avec le caoutchouc, il y a quelques fruits et toujours cette saumure d'olives. Un truc de dingue, de geek, de sado-masochiste. Perso, je suis retourné le goûter une deuxième fois en fin de salon 😁
