Just like the first, the second High Congeners doesn't inspire me. Although it's already the off-beat rum from Antigua, it's still so light that I'm mainly bored by it. The best things are the sticky notes on the nose and the wild grapefruit note on the finish. In between there is a lot of coconut, caramel, milk chocolate and yet a lot of fruit. In the mouth, there is a rather strong ginger spiciness. It's not a bad rum by any means, but it doesn't have enough to keep me occupied for long. I would like to try it in an Oid Cuban, it certainly has potential there.
High Congener the 2nd and I find it very successful. A beautiful nose with coconut, banana, vanilla and caramel aromas. On the palate, the spectrum then becomes darker and spicier with vanilla and caramel notes still present. The finish is even more powerful and spicy. Top in view of the PLV
I liked the first bottling of the High Congener. I'm still a little undecided about the second one. Coconut, spices, wood on the nose, but unfortunately also light, pungent notes like in a chemistry lab. These become weaker over time, but unfortunately do not disappear completely. On the palate there is also mango, leather, milk chocolate and a pleasant sweetness. I don't share the opinion that the alcohol is well integrated. Even after an hour, I still find the English Harbour cutting and burning. Good rum for the price. If the alcohol had been better integrated, it would have been over 8.0. But I will test it more extensively in comparison with the 1st release.
Solid rum at a really good price. Coconut, creamy and spicy with some chocolate, banana, caramel and a little orange peel. Well integrated alcohol. A mix between Foursquare and Belize.
