    Diesen Rum wollte ich eigentlich schon vor einem Jahr spliten, aber et stieß auf wenig Interesse. Beim zweiten Anlauf hat es nun endlich geklappt. Persönlich hatte ich keine große Erwartungen und wurde mehr als positiv überrascht. Insgesamt eine Klasse Abfüllung, die ich nur weiter empfehlen kann.

    So tonight I'm trying a bunch of post 2000 TDL's. All above 60%. Lucky me...tough job ;) Wigman is one of the most well known Dutch whisky connaisseurs. This is his second released rum, besides a very heavy yet classic flavoured Caroni. His bottles are pricy but high end and good quality. Let's see how this one is doing. Nose: American Oak/Bourbon/vanilla. More on the woody/spices side than fruitiness. Still some berries though. Elegant for 62%. Taste: yeah definitely a very Amerikan Oak driven TDL. Which is interesting and not overly common for this distillery (I get why a whisky guy chose this). Big in flavours yet still elegant. Not a dirty edge. Clean. Very well balanced. Very TDL but also bot quite so. Fruit has def been pushed to the back by the fruit. Cognac. Overall: a very decent US oaky TDL which sets itself apart from most TDLs in style. Not much berry. Not a diesel-y or dirty edge. Balanced...yes.

    Klasse T.D.L hier. Tolle Nase, überwiegend holzig, aber auch etwas Vanille und Mokka sind erkennbar. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls viel Holz und Fass, außerdem etwas Vanille und wie ich finde recht würzig, aber echt lecker.

    8,4:On the nose, the first impression we get is very similar as Foursquare with roasted wood notes like caramel, nuts, coffee, spices with cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, bourbon yellow fruits and coconut.A molasses is a bit floral, there is some tobacco and menthol. On aeration, the fruits are dried with apricots, citrus pops up and burnt sugar. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is again very Foursquare like, with its main characteristics, pleasant, delicious. The molasses is vegetal, as some tobacco is noticed, there is menthol.After resting, egg yolk note is pretty obvious, actually pleasant, some licorice and pear make their presence. 8,5:The finish is long, dry with roasted, spicy wood, creamy, egg yolk note still here, some mint nicely rounds up some bitter notes.
