    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!

    So apparently the league of indistinguishable central and south American rums have a minor league as a runner up. This has some flaws on a technical level that makes me appreciate those big standard rums a bit. When I put the eau de vie tag there, I do not mean good one. But the really cheap stuff.

    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.

    Part of 1423 "24 days of rum" Christmas rum-calendar. I found a vegetal, lemongrassy nose and I got notes of lemongrass and a hint of grass or roots. This might be good in a cocktail, but I wouldn't recommend it neat
