RUM

Quite a lot of bourbon, very round and pastry-like

A pleasant live surprise. I found the profile quite original, pleasant to taste and the price is cool. So to be retested, but it's the kind of bottle I'd definitely buy as a nice easy sipper.

Decent, integrity rum from Thailand without additives and colouring. The profile is pretty sweet and reminds me of a bourbon. Nothing complex but an easy daily sipper. I imagine this being a good mixer as well.

A pleasant discovery. A pastry profile that makes it easy to drink. Not insanely complex, but pleasant. It also appealed to the uninitiated. Edit: I'm raising my rating because the value for money is still super interesting. The bourbon brings a nice sweetness. It's easy enough to drink without being devoid of interest.

Interesting rum with full 12 years of tropical aging, no colouring and sugar added. The aromas are very inviting, unfortunately the taste and finish are kind of standing behind. Still, I can say this is a pretty solid rum I will definitely want to taste again.

On the nose, I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful tropical ripeness and cocoa notes. The palate is then somewhat one-dimensional, even if it has something interesting at its core.

A puzzling rum, with unexpected flavors in keeping with its terroir and aging. The nose is ultra-dominated by pastry notes, notably caramel, cookie dough and confectionery. Fruits can be detected, struggling against chocolate, greedy wood and spices not to be completely absorbed. A very surprising olfactory experience. The attack on the palate is extremely mellow. It's like drinking a cookie, with notes of chocolate, caramel, roasted hazelnuts, vanilla and a hint of salt. Although it's (normally) a no-additives product, this bottling is a real treat. Dried fruits, lime, floral tones, toasty wood and spices complete a very smooth profile, where the alcohol goes unnoticed. The finish is of good quality, on cookie, chocolate, spices, caramel and pastry. There's a hint of greenness on the very finish, giving a little oxygen to this extremely concentrated profile. It's clearly not what you think of when you think of 12 years of tropical aging for a Thai rum, and while it may prove a little nauseating in the long run, the value for money remains remarkable.

Easy-drinking rum. Recommended for beginners. Really good value for money.

Very surprised by this Thai rum! Caramel-vanilla-brown sugar-bourbon. A bottle to have in your bar, exotic with good value for money.

Surprisingly smooth and round rum from Thailand. Coffee, raisin, dried fruit, dark chocolate and light cookie and candied ginger notes. Can be made and works well for cocktails! :)

Easy sipper for a good price!

Guter Rum. Hervorragend geeignet für hochwertige Cocktails.

I took this sample as a recommendation. Nose is in caramel and vanilla mainly, with some fruits. It's a very common profile but the caramel is nice here. On the mouth, it's a lot of sweetness, lots of vanilla too, caramel again, a bit of gentle spices in the back and some wood. Final is surprisingly long, it's vanilla, pastries and caramel. It's a very dessert ish rum, nice that it's 45% as it adds some body. It's a good price quality ratio. May be too sweet for some.

Pleasant rum, but sipping it for a long time it becomes a bit monotonous and predictable. The sweet notes clearly come from aging in American oak barrels, which as we know tend to impart vanilla and sweet aromas to rum. The flavor remains unchanged from start to finish, and after the initial flavor bomb, nothing particularly interesting happens. Don't get me wrong, it is a good rum, but I find that its flavors are too dominated by the influence of the barrels and that it lacks real depth.

Delicious, rather sweet rum without rough edges. Very relaxed sipper.
