All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.
The molasses comes from Dom. Rep. and Guyana. After distillation it’s aged in former bourbon and Tennessee whiskey barrels between five and eight years before blended and bottled. In my opinion is this an outstanding everyday rum, especially when taking the price into account.
Der Rum hat einen hellen Goldton. Es riecht süßlich, etwas nach Sherry und Honig, sehr angenehm. Geschmacklich schon etwas Richtung Whisky, kaum Süße im ersten Augenblick, später im Abgang kommt etwas davon zum Vorschein. Der Abgang ist kurz bis mittellang, eine leichte Schärfe. Ein angenehmer Tropfen.
A subtle and round nose. The main note is fresh lemon peel. Closely followed by pineapple, vanilla and distant roasted coffee beans. The palate initially hits you with caramel, oak, then a touch of raisin. There's a pleasant creaminess that's quite dessert like. The finish is very short. Not much to talk about. A whisp of smoke, more distant coffee and a flash of coconut husk. A great rum for the price. Nothing challenging but also doesn't taste cheap. Perfectly nice to drink neat.
