Exhibition review The Village 2025, Nuremberg: It's not that it didn't taste good at all, but when I want a whisky, I pour myself a whisky. And if I fancy rum, then I go for the rum. The point of a whisky finish where the base spirit is completely lost (this is especially true for peated whisky) is not entirely clear to me. You can try it if you get the chance, but that's all I need.
#4894 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Fresh, light wood, faint roasted, peat, faint smoke, fruity, spice, light nutty, light caramel. Palate Oily, light wood, light roasted, peat, light smoke, light nutts, light caramel, faint orange, light plum. Finish Medium to long, light roasted wood, light peat, light smoke, light caramel, oily, light orange, faint prunes. This is a really nice example of a peated finish that for me works really well. I think it will split waters and many will disagree with me.
A very interesting rum. If someone poured it for me in a blind I'd guess straight whiskey, and if I'm not completely off base it reminds me of La Gavulin 16y in subtlety and flavour. I bought the rum at auction for a pretty penny, so the price/performance is fine.
Very peaty. Islay hits the spot Fair rating
