    How does this rum taste?

    • Unique and intense flavor profile
    • Rich coffee and leather notes
    • Boldness and originality

    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 AbfĂŒllungen der Flag Series unseren Nasen und Gaumen stellen, dies wurde mit DomM zusammen zelebriert. FĂŒr mich ist der South Africa von den dreien der Beste. Der aus Vietnam ist eher zurĂŒckhaltend, 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 fumĂ©es et torrĂ©fiĂ©es (cafĂ©), de cuir, de boisĂ© toastĂ© et d’épices en tout genre qui apportent de l’intensitĂ©. Les fruits tropicaux (ananas) et les fruits secs mettent du temps Ă  venir, mais s’accompagnent de notes sucrĂ©es sur la canne ainsi que de beurre, ce qui a pour effet d’adoucir ce profil plutĂŽt abrupt de prime abord. Le contraste continue en bouche avec notamment les fruits (prune, fruits exotiques) et les notes sucrĂ©es face aux arĂŽmes mĂ©dicinaux, goudronnĂ©s, fumĂ©s et pimentĂ©s. On retrouve le cuir et un boisĂ© plutĂŽt discret en bouche. Le profil est lourd, empyreumatique et change de ce qu’on a l’habitude de voir en IndonĂ©sie, le mĂ©lange opĂšre bien. L’alcool aurait toutefois pu ĂȘtre un peu mieux intĂ©grĂ© sur ce profil fougueux. La finale ne faiblit pas pour autant mais gagne en fraĂźcheur avec les herbes aromatiques. Le cĂŽtĂ© torrĂ©fiĂ©, Ă©picĂ© et fumĂ© tapisse le palais pendant un bon moment, si bien que mĂȘme les autres arĂŽmes prennent le pas : les fruits deviennent plus secs et le caramel plus chaud. Le profil laisse son empreinte de par son originalitĂ© et sa puissance. Un rhum Ă  dĂ©couvrir pour explorer l’IndonĂ©sie sous une autre facette."
