S.B.S Tahiti (Bourbon Cask) 2017
Most find it quirky and fruity with strawberry, caramel and honey notes, but criticize the sharp alcohol, artificial candy-like sweetness and thin finish. Overall seen as an interesting but flawed experiment.
Adventurous rum fans who enjoy experimental, eau‑de‑vie or grappa-like spirits with strawberry candy, fruit schnapps and light bourbon notes, and who don’t mind some rough edges at higher ABV.

How does this rum taste?
Funky strawberry eau‑de‑vie rum experiment
If you enjoy quirky, grappa-style rums or fruit brandies and want to try an oddball Tahiti cask, this is worth a pour—just don’t expect a balanced, traditional sipper.
Beginners, those sensitive to sharp alcohol, and drinkers expecting a rich, classic rum profile rather than sweet, synthetic strawberry and thin, obstler-style character.

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.
