    Ganz okay dieser Rum. Hat eine leicht alkoholischen Gedchmack. Wollte ihn erst etwas schlechter bewerten, hab dann aber gemerkt, dass er über dem Standard ist mit seinen 48%. Von daher, kann man bringen.

    From the Days Of Rum box 2023. Somehow saved this for last. Not the best I guess. Nose: alcoholic. Tequila/mezcal. Weird. Unbalanced. Not very interesting. Taste: bitter. Burnt sugar. Vanilla. Better than the smell. Still no spark for greatness. Not the worst rum, far from the best. Very uninteresting and no deeper layers. Next!

    Day no. 10 of the 24 days of rum calendar and I suspect this is the one that I will hate instantaneously just by smelling it. Let's not jump in to conclusions however 👃 is very alcoholic reminding me of a fruit home made booze full of fruity flavors and sort of bitter whiff of a penicillin. Taste: Yup I don't like it. It is very very very much like w home made ,,palenka,, or a booze, schnaps if you like. A little bit sweeter full of fruity aromas such as mirabelle plum or plum in general and peppery spices such as black pepper. It is not bad don't get me wrong but not for neat sipping. Could be great in cocktails and I can imagine having a shot to help the digestion. Naturally this one comes with a long finish due to prominent taste.

    Sample no.10 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2023. High ABV at 48% which is very sharp on the nose. Hard to get anything else than an alcoholic tequila aroma. After it sits for a while some dried fruits and sweet raisins comes through. Palate is rich in overripe fruits, vanilla and oak barrels. Fruity and spicy with a sting from the alcohol.
