    How does this rum taste?

    S.B.S Tahiti (Bourbon Cask), a limited release by 1423 World Class Spirits, offers an intriguing rum experience with its 57% ABV. Distilled in 2017 and aged for six years, it presents notable aroma notes of strawberry and glue. Users highlight a fruity taste with synthetic and metallic undertones, reminiscent of fruit schnapps. While the nose carries sweet barrel hints, the palate’s synthetic sweetness leads to mixed opinions. With only 277 bottles available, this rum's exotic status intrigues, though some find it unbalanced. Ideal for adventurous tasters seeking unique flavor profiles, potentially appealing in cocktails where sweeter notes are desired.

    This is fine. But too many notes that fail to make it good. This really has die Grappa/ Eau de Vie characteristics which i really do not like. otherwise it is a tad too much like a panamanese soulless douche...

    In smell really distinctly sweet, in taste less so, vanilla

    Unfortunately, the alcohol is not well integrated and the finish is very flat. However, nice bourbon notes at the beginning.

    Alcohol not well integrated, has something of artificial strawberry chewing gum á la Campino cream strawberry sweets and tutti-frutti. ... Not really my cup of tea. Super spicy in the finish. Too bad. There could have been more.
