I hadn't really looked into it or informed myself about it beforehand. Now, in retrospect, I have heard that it is supposed to have a whisky finish (?). If so, fortunately there is no taste of it. A solid bottling that I liked, but I don't need a bottle of it.
#4882 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, fruity, faint wood, faint tannins, light varnish, light earthy, light floral, light sugarcane, cinnamon. Palate Balanced, fresh, light wood, spice, cinnamon, light floral, light herbal, medium spicy, faint ginger, sugarcane, oily, fruits. Finish Medium long, medium spicy, oily, fresh, faint floral, faint varnish, faint tannins, light wood, fruits. Pretty well balanced release and I look forward to seeing the price in the shops. It is usually sold out pretty fast, so if you need one catch it from the start.
i like the clairin runs very much! there's a lot to discover here, even without storage. let's see how the series with the beautiful black and white labels performs and lives up to my expectations. 2017: I wouldn't have given this bottling five years. The alcohol could be better integrated, little barrel influence, which I find rather negative here. Generally very herbal with olives and herbs. Otherwise (light) fruity as usual. 76 pts. 2018: this is already "heavier", darker fruity and spicier. clear barrel influence. warm, fruity and full-bodied on the palate. Alcohol not optimally integrated here either. 80 pts. 2019: Seems to combine the first two perfectly! I like it very much. A full-bodied fruit basket with spices and astringency. It's a lot of fun! 86 pts.
I really like this range of matured Vieux Sajous! The Caroni finish was nice, the 2018 was better but I think this 2019 with the tropical whisky finish is one of the best. I was very skeptical, I haven't had any good experiences with single malt maturation so far. But in this case you hardly notice it. On the contrary, a very earthy, mineral rum that can't deny its origins with Cristalline cane sugar! The nose is pleasantly fruity, with light woody notes and a slightly tart note. On the tongue, slight hints of autumnal fruit, honey and lots of grassy, earthy influences with a long finish. Overall very balanced and simply authentic.
