The Whisky Jury The Duo (Chapter 3) 2025

#6012 29.11.2025 Rum tasting at Whisky Watcher in Odense. This is a prettynsurprising rum actually A blend of two rums from relatively rare rum countries. First I thought it was a Renegade but over tile it changed into Clairin notes. Very well balanced rum at a very good price tag.

8,5:On the nose, ripe, fermented vegetal notes, especially tomatoes on esters, funky, grassy and flowery sugarcane, roasted wood notes, spicy, smoky and citrus fruits, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, confectionery arises, now also fermented tropical fruits with banana, some cheese. 8,4:On the palate, the attack is sweet, funky with sugarcane honey, as the cane is earthy, grassy flowery, the fruits and vegetal notes are fermented, especially tropical fruits, the wood is roasted, spicy and smoky. 8,3:The finish is long, dry, woody, medicinal with esters, the sugarcane is vegetal, grassy, flowery, the fruits tropical, overripe..

Crazy value for money! A daring mix that I find very successful! Agricultural nose! On banana and vanilla bean. On the palate, we find the same agricultural rum character, but with more roundness and fruit! The little kick of alcohol is pleasant! Rather short finish

Great piece for a small price, I'm pleasantly surprised! Very unique. Clear agricole notes recognizable, grassy paired with a lot of funk. Alcohol super integrated. A certain sweetness on the palate and a surprising amount of body for its young age. Really great!

While this blend of unaged, ester-heavy sugar cane distillate from Liberia and caramel-silky, aged rum from Thailand may seem a little wild and chaotic in the glass at first, after about 15 minutes of standing, the rum has harmonized and reveals an unusual and delicious profile that never leaves you feeling bored.

Vielleicht am Gaumen ne Ecke zu süß aber insgesamt einfach ne tolle Abfüllung. Und das zu einem hervorragenden Preis Leistungsverhältnis. Keine Ahnung welche Destillen hier der Ursprung sind aber Liberia und Thailand sollte man auf dem Radar haben. Schöner blend

Très belle surprise Ce jus est excellent, Un. Assemblage audacieux. Belle rondeur, Et beaucoup de plaisir en bouche.. Après une aération de 15 minutes, On découvre tout le potentiel Et le rapport qualité, prix plaisir, est impressionnant

Association improbable pour un résultat hyper intéressant vu le prix. Un côté très végétal, canne fraîche immédiatement suivi par le léger boisé et fruité d'un rhum vieilli. C'est frais, ça claque, ça surprend un peu, mais on en redemande 😋

Degustation masterclass (notes a confirmer) Au nez des herbes, de la canne, de la vanille et un côté legerement vinaigré. La bouche est tres sympa, le thai est bien plus présent. Il faudra que je regoute. Dans tous les cas, super interessant pour le tarif.

Super interessante Kombi. Und das für unter 50 Euro.

Very interesting blend. A no brainer to buy. Vegetal agricole nose. But the palate is completely different. Very smoky with a pleasant fruity sweetness. Abv perfectly integrated. A rather short finish. Great bottle!

17/10/2025: tasting @ home with Stijn and Bram. This is a weird but very interesting experience. It contains mostly unaged juice and this makes it pretty funky, vegetal and unique. Although it's only 50cl, you get a lot for your money.

This is one of those rums were the nose does not necessarily match the taste. The nose is a combination of two main notes: grassy (I assume from the unaged Liberian rum) and vanilla (I assume from the aged Thai rum). The taste is very surprising though. We get a lot of smoke to a point that reminds of barbecue meat with a sweet sauce. All and all a very interesting and successful experiment of a blend that can be sipped and might work well in a cocktail too.

Thailand is bit familiar to me, but never heard of Liberia rum before so I don't know what it brings to the table here. Very young, unaged, funky, agricole-y, green, vegetal nose - also nice bannana notes stand out. Palate is bit different, the funky, vegetal notes are there, but more mature, sweeter, fruitier notes come forth. I expected it to be meh, but this works really well.
