    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love how the Arran single malt cask adds malty whisky character to 10-year Barbados notes of caramel, vanilla and ripe fruit. Expect gentle spice with occasional hints of peat/smoke and a warm 51.2% ABV. Often enjoyed neat or on the rocks. A popular pick with 61 reviews and strong buyer confidence, though some find it quite sweet or whisky-forward with a touch of alcohol bite.

    Wow, nope. Fortunately, I can't taste anything from the whisky barrel, but this rum seems somehow ordinary and is clearly too spicy.

    Masterclass with Alexandre Gabriel on 04.04.2024. Plantation becomes Planteray. Another whisky finish that I personally don't like at all. In contrast to the Guyana at the tasting, not so intrusive. Nice, but nothing I would need right now.

    An der Nase ist zu Beginn nicht viel los, ein paar gelbe Früchte und aufdringlicher Alkohol. Nach einer Weile kommen ein paar Gewürze und Zitrusfrüchte dazu. Am Gaumen übernimmt das Fass mit vordergründige Würze und Tanninen. Auch hier habe ich einen unangenehm starken alkoholischen Eindruck. Der Nachklang ist mittellang und Würze und Tannine dominieren Mittelmäßiger Rum an dem ich nicht viel Positives finde.

    Unaussagekräftiger Barbados meets Whisky Cask. Nicht viel Falsches, aber auch nicht viel Angenehmes. Whisky zerstört nicht alles, aber es ist auch kaum Geschmack da, der hervortreten könnte.
