    AHH, Jamaica, AHH, long pond. This is a juice I know well and really sings to history. The buttery goodness of hardly if at all aged long pond at 73%. Unless I embarrass myself completely this should be the last Robinson cask strength. At times this was the most wonderful juice available for strong drinks

    Kein ganz ungewöhnlicher junger Jamaikaner. Zwar mit den zu erwartenden fruchtigen Esternoten, die ins vergorene drehen, dazu aber auch mit leicht mineralischen Noten, die an Olive erinnern und ebenso floralen Anklängen. Die 75% sind trotz der vorhanden Schärfe gut integriert. Eine spannende Auswahl, die sich als Overproof-Rum für aussergewöhnliche Cocktails anbieten dürfte.

    Tja ein kleines Highlight doch nochmal zum Schluß. Netter Highproof Rum. Hat ordentlich Wumms, kann ich mir gut als Mixer vorstellen. Mit einer der Favoriten aus dem Blind Sample Set. Tolle interessante Auswahl, wobei die Masse eher nicht meinen Geschmack getroffen hat.

    Blind Tasting Set von Johannes (danke dafür): Nase mit Frucht (Banane?), Klebstoff und Lösungsmittel. Ordentlich Power. Am Gaumen ebenfalls sehr stark, geschätzt um die 70%. Ester, Frucht, etwas pflanzlich und kein Holz. Gar nicht schlecht.
