    22.03.2025 Retasting at Whisky Watcher, Odense. ---------------------- #5103 08.02.2025 relaxing with a few samples at home. Nose Fresh, fruity, light wood, faint smoke, light apple, citrus, light orange, faint honey. Palate Oily, wood, light roasted, fruits, light orange, light honey, medium spicy, light pear, spice. Finish Medium to long, fresh, wood, oily, medium spicy, fruits, light citrus. If you handwarm this one it really opens up nicely.

    Bin ohne Erwartungshaltung herangegangen, gemeinsam mit einem erklärter „Hasser“ blumiger Rums. El Salvador hat man erstmal nur eine Destille auf dem Schirm, ich bin mir aber recht sicher, dass wir es hier NICHT mit Cihuatan zu tun haben. Sehr fruchtig, blumig, anfangs auch parfümiert. Braucht ein wenig Zeit im Glas, Wasser packt woodspice dazu, was dann er schräg ist…von daher ohne Wasser besser. Hat uns gefallen, ist aber klar ein Mood-Ding…hab ich nicht jeden Tag Lust drauf. Handwerklich top und auch nochmal besser als von ner Fassprobe, die ich probieren durfte, als er etwa 15yo hatte. Cheers
