La Maison Du Whisky Rum Dominican Republic (Flag Series) 2008

Most enjoy the rich roasted wood, coffee, chocolate and Spanish-style sweetness. Critics find the nose and finish a bit simple or short. Consensus: solid, characterful, but not mind-blowing.

    How does this rum taste?

    Dry, woody Spanish-style powerhouse
    Who is this rum for?

    If you like drier, sherry-influenced Spanish-style rums at higher strength, this gives you that profile with extra roast and wood—just don’t expect huge complexity or sweetness.

    Not really suitable for

    Beginners, those sensitive to 60% ABV, or drinkers expecting an ultra-sweet Dominican sipper with a long, lush finish.

    Un rhum dégusté au Whisky Live Paris 2025. Un nez auquel il manque un peu de complexité, mais avec des esters, de la vanille de bois neuf, un côté bonbon et du caramel. Des beaux arômes espagnols en bouche, sucrosité et caramel amer, réglisse, épices et bois neuf. Mais aussi des fruits et quelques esters. La finale est courte mais le caramel amer reste très longtemps. Un rhum dominicain qui sort du lot mais qui peine à me convaincre.

    Auto-translated

    8,3:On the nose, glue, really roasted wood notes like dark chocolate, caramel, leather, roasted nuts, spicy, prunes and raisins, peaches and cherries, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, toasted coconut is out, baking spices with cinnamon, vanilla, burnt sugar and coffee. 8,2:On the palate, the attack is fruity with various dried fruits like prunes, raisins, apricots, some toasted coconut, orange peel and later red fruits, medicinal with glue and mild esters, as the wood is strongly roasted with chocolate, caramelized burnt sugar, leather, coffee and confectionery, spicy with baking spices, as the molasses is dark with licorice. 8,3:The finish is long, round, dry, slightly bitter, but creamy, fruity and dark with very roasted wood notes, spicy..

    Auto-translated

    #5719 27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. This is an OK release with a nice ans spicy palate. fruits, coffee and some light chocolate notes balance out the wood in the profile that also has a light leather touch.

    Typischer Rum aus der DomRep. Ganz viel Holz, Kokosnuss, Röstaromen, Kaffee und Karamell. Andere Aromen wie Getrocknete Früchte und etwas Schokolade im Abgang nimmt man nur partiell wahr. Alkohol gut eingebunden.
