    A rum tasted at the GRF in 2024, S.B.S. Masterclass. A bubble gum nose reminiscent of certain Savanna rums (here too, fermentation is particularly long), tropical fruit and discreet woodiness, all accompanied by a pleasant sweetness. On the palate, bubble gum and tropical fruit go hand in hand, supported by alcohol. The finish is on fruit, cedar wood and a reminder of Marsala (2 years in Marsala casks after 7 years in ex-bourbon).

    #5318 07.05.2025 Relaxing with a few samples while watching a TV series about psychopathic killers. Nose Round, light wood, light fruits, faint chocolate, light apple, light cherry, clove. Palate Balanced, light wood, faint smoke, fruits, light cherry, light cinnamon, light caramel, faint chocolate. Finish Medium long, round, light wood, fruits, light mango, spice, light chocolate. Empty glass Chocolate, vanilla, light apple, light caramel, light anise. German Rum Fest 2024 sample.

    Fair evaluation. Tasted as part of the S.B.S. tasting. The bottlings from Antigua I have tasted so far have always reminded me strongly of FS and this one is no different. Unfortunately, despite the reduction, the alcohol is too present on both the nose and the palate.

    Docela jsem čekal odlišnou vůni. Marsala finiš udělal své. Přijde mi to až moc jemné, skoro tam necítím takový ten zvláštní kořeněný prach, který byl specifický pro EH high congener. V chuti už to tam je. Kokos, sušené ovoce, pepřovost a trochu pralinky. Zde se to naopak high congener dost podobá.
