    Tagesausflug Bielefeld April 2025. Shop Whisky Room. Bei diesem Old Monk zugeschlagen. Vanille, Karamell und etwas Holz haben wir hier in der Nase. Am Gaumen ganz viel Kaffee, aber wieder auch Vanille, Karamell und Holz.

    The aroma is pleasant. Lots of vanilla, dates, barrel, burnt caramel. Taste nothing complicated. Dried fruit, vanilla, cask, something burnt predominates. In the finish, nuts and caramel arrive. My expectations were low, so this surprised me relatively by its drinkability. Edit: botllekill after a small sample of Diplomatica and Monk makes it seem like a totally dry rum 😀 😀

    The first plus that does not smell of sugar. Perhaps completely without. The taste and aroma are quite pronounced. I can't shake the impression of the addition of rum rub and a bit of tampering with the years of aging. However, at this price, a lot can be forgiven and in its price range it is a very interesting piece!

    On The Rocks: On the nose a caramel sweetness with mild hints of vanilla and oak. Taste reveals a beautiful caramel sweetness with hints of vanilla and oak with a gentle spice. Finish is short with the caramel sweetness fading away to a slight bitterness. Mixed Pepsi Zero: No Pepsi Zero on hand. Super sad.
