    How does this rum taste?

    #3 La Reunion is a distinctive rum hailing from Reunion Island, crafted by Spirit of the Day. This limited release consists of only 325 bottles and features a cask strength of 60.9% ABV. Distilled in 2017 from molasses using a column still, it is aged for 7 years. Tasting notes highlight fruity, spicy, and tropical scents, with flavors of raisin, wood, and butterscotch. While the intensity of the alcohol is noted, users appreciate its unique profile and buttery, fruity taste. However, the alcohol integration and complexity fall short for some. This rum offers an intriguing experience for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

    Spannender Rum, der mit 7 Jahren und 60,9% daher kommt. Die Nase ist sehr unauffällig, also da muss man den Riechkolben schon tief ins Glas hängen, um Witterung aufzunehmen. Dann wird es leicht stechend, aber bei dem ABV kaum verwunderlich. Auf der Zunge und am Gaumen kommt er allerdings ziemlich wuchtig daher! Sehr buttrige Noten mit Fruchtkompot und Fasseinflüssen. Leider ist der Alkohol nicht so gut eingebunden, kommt im Abgang leicht stechend in den Vordergrund. Alles in allem aber sehr interessant und lecker

    Tasted during a visit to Versus vins et spiritueux. Thanks for the tasting. Rare are the wine shops with such beautiful products to taste. A "young" 7-year-old with only 2 years of ageing on Bourbon Island. Quite an intense nose, quite a lot of cooked fruit, rather tropical, spices, and a little brine. I found it hard to grasp, as if it lacked some. Tropical aging versus continental. The 60 bourrins sting a little on the palate, making it quite intense. Bourbon vanilla and caramel, fruit between fresh and stewed, spices and green olives in the background. I'll have to find another sample to confirm this first impression.

    Good product, but not crazy either. Cooked fruit, light brine, but lacks depth. I expected more. Considering the price, it's still decent, but without emotion.

    Lehce zatuchla vune, vyrazna, slana az olivova chut, delsi slany zaver.
