Better than its predecessors and somewhat stronger in appearance A solid entry-level rum with good mixing ability. But unfortunately it doesn't come close to the very first 2 black casks. In my opinion, you could do without the dosage here too.
Eine köstliche Nase mit gut karamellisierten tropischen Früchten, die sich mit süßen Gewürzen vermischen. Im Mund sind die tropischen Früchte immer noch präsent. Er ist sehr (zu) süß, aber lecker. Das mittlere Flair ist angenehm mit der Säure der Passionsfrucht in Verbindung mit den Gewürzen. Ein sehr angenehmer Rum für einen Cuba Libre****
Wow. Was ein tolles Preis Leistungsverhältnis. Wirklich wahnsinnig. Tolle Aromen von Ananas und anderen tropische Früchten,starke würze. Sehr spannend und komplex.l und das für den Preis. Für mich könnte er ein paar Prozente mehr haben.
Notes from Whisky Live Paris 2024 - to be reviewed and expanded. For the moment, it's a cold shower: a beautiful bottle, but a juice that seems over-dosed, lacking length, pep, and even less complexity...
