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.

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.
Definitely an interesting and destinct profile which is very hard for me to pin down. On the nose it is evolving with time. There are some fruits and vegetable notes combined with some sweetness. I also get a fermented note in the beginning, which eveolves to Gorgonzola over time. Definitely an interesting animal. Also a bit odd on the palate as well. Quite sweet with notes of candid oranges but also spices and herbal notes, which I can’t quite pin down… interesting bottling.
#4851 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 Faint wood, round, light sugarcane, faint leather, faint smoke, light honey, fruits. Palate Round, light wood, medium sweet, faint smoke, light coffee, banana, spice. Finish Medium long, fresh, round, light wood, light roasted, faint coffee, lightly sweet, medium spicy. Also a big surprise and no arrack in the profile 😊
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.
