    How does this rum taste?

    The Classic Rum Special Edition, selected and bottled by Cadenhead’s, invites drinkers on a 17-year journey of taste. Distilled from molasses and at 50% ABV, it opens with woody aromas, red fruits, dark chocolate, dates, and a hint of solvents. On the palate, notes of raisin, tobacco, fruit schnapps, and pineapple create a layered experience, reminiscent of influences from Jamaica, Panama, and Guyana. Our RumX community loves its unique, almost candy-like complexity that manages to balance spirited intensity with smooth integration. While some find the high alcohol and distinct regional influence a challenge, many appreciate its diverse profile and value, making it an intriguing option for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

    Delicious blend at cask strength

    Habe den auf einer Messe probiert, der wird definitiv mein Standard werden. 40€, 50% und ein toller blend aus den man teils viele Regionen herausschmecken könnte!

    Price / performance absolutely brilliant. For under 40€ my clear favorite at the moment

    Cadenhead’s s’en sort bien avec cet assemblage de leur gamme permanente. Le nez passe d’un côté esterisé sur la Jamaïque, à un peu de rondeur du Panama, puis à pas mal d’influence sombre de Guyana : les dates, le chocolat noir, le café et les épices (réglisse) ne s’y trompent pas. Il y a comme une note de beurre de cacahuètes également, assez étrange mais pas désagréable. Une fois en bouche, on a la sensation de boire un bonbon liquide. Tabac, toffee, mélasse et caramel chaud se joignent aux notes sombres précédemment décrites pour donner un mélange de saveurs qui se veut gouleyant et onctueux au palais. L’alcool est bien intégré, mais quelques degrés supplémentaires auraient permis de corser un peu le jus, qui pourrait s’y méprendre avec une eau-de-vie de fruits. La finale est de longueur correcte, chaude et bien épicée. Le côté rôti, caféiné et chocolaté (noir) ressort davantage avec l’alcool. Dommage que la Guyana demeure ultra dominante et ne laisse pas un peu plus le blend s’exprimer, car il aurait pu gagner en palette aromatique et en complexité. Il n’en reste pas moins un bon rhum facile d’approche dans le style britannique.
