     Rum aus Tahiti, hatte ich auch noch nicht so viele. Zumindest für mich kommt er nicht an die Durchschnittsbewertung hier ran. Nase ist aber schön, pflanzlich, frisch und floral. Am Gaumen dann aber zu scharfkantig, ebenfalls floral und Lösungsmittel sind erkennbar. Aber zu alkoholisch.

     Heute geht es los mit einem Manutea aus der Südsee Insel. In der Nase bereits sehr viel Ester riecht aber auch sehr frisch auch einige Früchte sind zu erkennen. Im Geschmack sehr bekömmlich, auch Ester und Früchte.

     Licorice sticks in liquid and brutally intense! how is that possible?!! personally, I'm not a fan of licorice at all, but it's kind of crazy😅 in the daiquiri, the licorice note also remains brutally dominant, but is flattered by light vanilla and coconut/banana and bitter orange notes. Cool and very unusual stuff 😅🕺
