“eher enttäuschend. Neben alkoholischer Schärfe auch angenehme sanfte Noten nach Karamell an der Nase. am Gaumen dann aber überraschend trocken, scharf und allgemein dünn.”

“Nez alcoolique sur le caramel un peu boisé. En bouche des fruits jaune ( abricot, pêche ) une pointe d'agrumes toujours le côté caramélisée et légèrement boisé, l'alcool n'est pas très bien intégré trop présent. Peu de longueur”

“Day no. 8 of the 24 days of rum advent calendar, 46% abv rum from the single origin series distilled from mollases at the Darsa Distillery Guatemala 🇬🇹 and aged in American Oak casks. Color is very light pale gold. 👃 is not very prominent, we get a portion of sweetness, vanilla, dried fruits, sour aroma of citruses and a bit of alcoholic odour. 👅 is on the other hand very prominent and full of flavour. We get a lot of natural sweetness represented by vanilla flavor pulled from the oak barrel, it is also a bit spicy- peppery. We also get dried fruits such as raisins. It reminds me of pot still rum even though this is supposed to be pure column still. The finish is long with woody notes dipped in sweet sugar syrup- awesome. Great rum I really like this one.”

“Sample no.8 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2022. First it smells like tequila but after it sits for a while more of an alcoholic scent with tropical fruits and raisins come to light. Taste is strong and warm but despite the higher abv I don’t get much flavours.”

“Fruchtig exotisch, Annanas mit Vanille im Aroma, etwas flüchtiger Alkohol. Cremig, etwas Annanas und Vanille setzten sich fort. Alkoholische Schärfe deutlich mit kurzem Abgang.”

“Ich habe etwas sehr süßes erwartet, aber der Rum war überraschend trocken. Vielleicht gibt es noch Hoffnung für Rum aus Guatemala? Aber auch trocken hat er mich nicht begeistert. Aber ist okay bis gut.”
