    How does this rum taste?

    The "Rum Indonesia Flag Series" from La Maison Du Whisky offers a unique, cask-strength Indonesian profile, distilled in 2015 from molasses and aged for 8 years. This limited release of 195 bottles highlights intense notes of coffee, burnt sugar, and leather. While it impresses with tropical fruit flavors and intricate spices, some find the balance lacking, noting strong smoky and woody elements typical of a Batavia Arrack. This rum is praised for its originality and boldness but occasionally criticized for a challenging fermentation profile and slightly over-pronounced alcohol presence. Ideal for adventurous rum enthusiasts keen to explore Indonesian spirits.

    Whisky Live Paris 2024 (trade fair evaluation, only overall rating and personal recommendation to buy): This time three exotics in the Flags series, Vietnam, Indonesia and South Africa. I'm not sure yet whether I want a bottle from Indonesia. In any case, quite interesting.

    Dégusté au Whisky Live Paris 2024 - notes de dégustations rapides, vous êtes prévenus. Si ma mémoire est bonne, fermenté avec du riz rouge ? en tout cas ca sent le fermenté et pourquoi pas le kombucha. Il y a un mélange unique et intrigant autour du thé, des fruits, et quelque chose comme du café ou du chocolat, diffiile à dire, mais ca a du corps.

    Un rhum puissant et original. Le nez se pare de notes fumées et torréfiées (café), de cuir, de boisé toasté et d’épices en tout genre qui apportent de l’intensité. Les fruits tropicaux (ananas) et les fruits secs mettent du temps à venir, mais s’accompagnent de notes sucrées sur la canne ainsi que de beurre, ce qui a pour effet d’adoucir ce profil plutôt abrupt de prime abord. Le contraste continue en bouche avec notamment les fruits (prune, fruits exotiques) et les notes sucrées face aux arômes médicinaux, goudronnés, fumés et pimentés. On retrouve le cuir et un boisé plutôt discret en bouche. Le profil est lourd, empyreumatique et change de ce qu’on a l’habitude de voir en Indonésie, le mélange opère bien. L’alcool aurait toutefois pu être un peu mieux intégré sur ce profil fougueux. La finale ne faiblit pas pour autant mais gagne en fraîcheur avec les herbes aromatiques. Le côté torréfié, épicé et fumé tapisse le palais pendant un bon moment, si bien que même les autres arômes prennent le pas : les fruits deviennent plus secs et le caramel plus chaud. Le profil laisse son empreinte de par son originalité et sa puissance. Un rhum à découvrir pour explorer l’Indonésie sous une autre facette.

    Heute mussten sich die drei neuen Abfüllungen der Flag Series unseren Nasen und Gaumen stellen, dies wurde mit DomM zusammen zelebriert. Für mich ist der South Africa von den dreien der Beste. Der aus Vietnam ist eher zurückhaltend, aber als Mixer mit Cola entwickelt er eine schöne Fruchtigkeit. Der Indonesier ist sehr außergewöhnlich, was ihn aber interessant macht. Schön alle probiert zu haben.
