    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this pineapple-forward, high-ester Jamaican for its bold aroma and great value. Citrus and esters lead the nose; tropical fruit, roasted and woody notes shape the palate. At 57% many find the alcohol well integrated, though some note youthful, slightly dry edges. Enjoyed neat or in cocktails, this 5-year Velier release (limited to 3330 bottles) has strong approval from 87 reviewers.

    #4870 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, faint wood, fruity, light citrus, spice, light roasted, light pineapple, faint floral, ester. Palate Warm, round, balanced, faint wood, light roasted, light citrus, light banana, spice, naturally sweet, medium dry. Finish Medium long, fresh, round, fruity, light citrus, faint chocolate, medium dry, faint smoke, ester. This one is slightly better than the lower ABV release and it shows how flavours change when you add water.

    So far, the Papalins have not really convinced me across the board. The Jamaica High Ester changes this a little. A young Jamaican that offers fine fruit notes, light cookie dough, toasty, wood and a subtle smokiness on the nose. Dry on the palate, pineapple, citrus fruits and spices. The medium-long finish is a little weaker. However, it remains dry throughout and offers plenty of ester.

    Another nice Velier Papalin bottling. I was able to try it first as a special MaiTai at DomM. Not bad on its own either. I would rather classify it as an easy sipper, but for the price it's more than okay for in between.
