How does this rum taste?
Double Retorts Barbados 2000 from WIRD (Boozehounds) leans into smoky and whisky-like tones, balanced by layers of vanilla, honey, and tropical fruit—especially ripe banana. RumX users repeatedly mention a surprising creamed sweetness, touches of caramel, and a dry, peppery finish. Some liken it to whisky, noting a “prägnante Whisky Note mit Torf” (Alexander Rasch) and calling the nose “unikátní vůně” (Martin Ekrt), while others highlight the “note fumée et même une touche d’olive verte” (Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪). This 24-year-old cask strength rum splits opinions but stands out for its distinctive profile.

Wow, unique scent. I haven't been so pleasantly surprised in a long time. The taste is again an original mix of sweetness, fruit, herbs, peat whisky and spices. There's also some chemistry present that makes it even more interesting to me.
To be honest, I'm definitely warming to this type of rum. The smell was still okay to some extent. But the taste reminded me too much of a smoky, peaty whisky rather than rum. That's just not my thing, so I simply can't give it a good rating if I don't like it. Drinkable with cola o.k.
🔥 Double Retorts WIRD 2000 – 52,3% Probablement issu d’un assemblage de rhums distillés en Greg still (alambic à repasse), Vulcan chamber still (alambic à chambre) et colonne, ce WIRD a passé 24 ans en fût, pour un embouteillage à 52,3%. Au nez : élégance et retenue. Miel, fumée, tabac, poire, vanille. En bouche : l’attaque est crémeuse, gourmande, mais manque légèrement de puissance. On retrouve la vanille, le boisé, une note fumée et même une touche d’olive verte. La finale est superbe, très longue, avec des notes de chocolat poivré et d’amande amère. Un profil atypique, très fumé, qui ne laisse pas indifférent. Pour ma part, je le trouve plus intéressant que le WIRD 2000 de Rum Artesanal.
Lots of candied fruit and burnt notes on the nose, the honey is rather discreet. Instead, more caramel and a misplaced acidity. Lots of ripe banana. But definitely interesting. On the palate, unfortunately, there's a distinctive whisky note with peat. That didn't pick me up. The finish was again beautifully dry and astringent. Unfortunately a rather weak WIRD 2000 representative.
