A rum tasted at Whisky Live Paris 2025. A very refined and beautiful nose that bears its age. Dry, varnished old wood, volatile, caramel and a slight rancio note. Unfortunately, the palate is a little lacking, with dry wood, bitter caramel and a touch of acidity. If you compare it with Chapter 7 from the same year, there's no comparison. The palate clearly lags behind, without the exceptional rancio. The finish is moderately long, with good acidity and a surprisingly vinous side. The caramel and old varnished wood remain for a long time. A very fine rum and liquid history.
Messetasting Whisky Live Paris. Eindrücke und Bewertung basieren auf unmittelbaren Eindrücken aus dem Tastingglas. Klassisches Geschmacksprofil der alten Kubaner, ähnlich zum Chapter 7 Release aus demselben Jahrgang auch hier ein intensives Spektrum von schwerer Süsse und frischem Holz, dass das Alter geradezu unwirklich erscheinen lässt. Sehr zugänglich und süffig, lediglich im Abgang fehlt die Komplexität.
Premier verre dégusté en compagnie de Cris lors de la soirée presse, quelques jours avant le salon.. et jamais égalé durant les 3 jours du Whisky Live. Ce cubain de 1948, pré-révolution (une datation au carbone 14 a été effectuée, pour les plus sceptiques), vieilli intégralement sous les tropiques est sublime. Globalement élégant, très complexe, et évolutif à chaque minute qui passe, il n'est ni plat, ni ennuyeux, bien au contraire. Au nez, des accents de vieille prune, de cerise, un chocolat noir qui monte toujours un peu plus, évidemment du rancio, et des notes de tannins. En bouche, de beaux épices, encore du rancio, un léger cuir, des notes de tabac, de thé.. que dire ? Clairement un profil liquoreux, mais pas écoeurant, patiné par le temps, où quelques fruits (exotiques) surgissent par moments. Une finale bien chocolatée, dense, légèrement boisée, et de subtiles notes mentholées. C'est surement l'un des plus grands rhums que j'ai jamais bu
