Boozehounds Double Retorts Double Retorts Barbados 2000 West Indies Rum Distillery WIRD 24 Years 70cl 52,3%Vol

"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."

"Die Nase wirkt mal super einladend mit getrockneten tropischen Früchten, leicht rauchig und jodig, dezent Holz, etwas von Traubenzucker. Im Mund dann etwas grünes, leichte Bitterkeit, Gemüse, Tabak, Zuckerbonbons, rauchig. Nicht schlecht aber so recht passt das Mundgefühl und Geschmack leider nicht. Kann tatsächlich an den Whiskyeinfluss liegen. Er hat die typische Vielschichtigkeit aber mag nicht so recht überzeugen, wie andere des Jahrgangs. Abgang empfinde ich ebenfalls als eher kurz."

"Pleasant nose with rather little fruit and more spice. Reminiscent of a good Worthy Park on the palate with aromas of banana and black tea. Nicely spicy. A few more turns probably wouldn't have done it any harm. The finish is not particularly long. A nice piece, but one that is unlikely to be remembered."

"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."

"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."

"🔥 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."
