    "Hallelujah! DOK to the power of three. After the initial shock, this astringency bomb is growing on me more and more ... er ... the palate. What do they actually do in the industry with so many esters? 😉"

    "Masterclass mit Alexandre Gabriel am 04.04.2024. Plantation wird Planteray. Also dieser Rum war die absolute Bombe von allen. Ein bißchen Zahnarzt, Lösungsmittel und als ich ein wenig mit den Resten gespielt habe, kam dieser Krasse künstliche Erdbeer-HubbaBubba Geschmack hervor, der gefühlt Stunden anhielt. Ich will mehr davon!!!"

    "This is insane stuff! Very, very nice. We can only hope to get our hands on bottlings of this to experiment and enjoy more of this. Also any aged casks obviously would be a blast to try. Thanks to Alexandre and the RumX Team for the masterclass!"

    "Wir brauchen ein neues Attribut für den Geruch: Aceton! Beim vorsichtigen riechen beobachte ich ein mir bisher unbekanntes Phänomen: die Nasenmukosa bzw. das Riechepithel scheint sich zusammen zu ziehen, Wie eine Art Schutzreaktion. Und das wohl nicht wegen übermäßigem Alkohol sondern wegen des Geruchs nach Lösungsmittel/Aceton. Andere nutzen solche Flüssigkeiten als Verdünnung und wir schnuppern begeistert dran um es dann zu trinken 🤪 Mit Wasser geht es auf einmal Richtung Zitrusfrüchte! Am Gaumen dann ein schon unangenehm intensiver Geschmack nach Plastik und Chemie. Erst dahinter Ester und Frucht - irres Zeug. Zeigt mir, dass "Estercount" nicht alles ist! Die enorme Intensität verebbt im Nachklang relativ schnell aber verbleibt auf einem absolut gesehen hohen Niveau. Hier steckt auf jeden Fall eine Menge Potential! Tolle Erfahrung zusammen mit Alexandre in der RumX Masterclass!"
