Brief evaluation and assessment of the Village'25. The successor to the HDGDL now as a Very High Ester Edition. From memory it already has more oomph. Alcohol is well integrated. For me, a little better than the first. Since I have to go over the old rating, I give it an 8.5. Not a unicorn but a rum at an extremely fair price of €50. Certainly a blast as a mixer. I like it and stand by it. Detailed analysis to follow.
Auto-translated#5177 22.03.2025 Tasting at Whisky Watcher in Odense. Nose Fresh, fruity, medium intense, ester, overripe, light polish, faint glue, faint wood. Palate Oily, naturally sweet, medium intense, faint wood, light glue, fruity, light pineapple, overripe, ester. Finish Long, fresh, naturally sweet, light wood, faint smoke, light glue, fruity, light citrus, faint iodine. When handwarmed it gets even better and smoother.
Not exactly the fruitiest, but overall nice high ester profile, more on the astringent side, with a very good plv.
Auto-translatedDer Name trifft es auf den Punkt. Bin Nase bis Abgang sind herrliche Esteraromen zu schmecken, wobei auch der Klebstoff im Vergleich zu anderen Rums recht präsent ist. Alkohol an der Grenze zum aufdringlich wirken, als Mixer dann aber sicher geeignet. PLV ist Klasse!
