Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 60 Galapagos 2015

Most enjoy its sweet, spiced, cocoa‑caramel profile and easy drinking. Critics miss Agricole character and deeper complexity, finding some bitterness and youthful wood. Consensus: good, cozy, but not mind‑blowing.

    Cozy, sweet-spiced Galapagos experiment

    Am Gaumen hat er durchaus eine erstaunliche Süße für einen ungezuckerten Rum. Das Mundgefühl ist etwas auf der öligen/viskosen Seite. Zu den beschriebenen Gewürzen, der Vanille und dem Karamell gesellen sich hier ein paar fruchtige Noten. Der Abgang ist lang und Gewürz- sowie Holzbetont, auch hier Ich finde ihn recht geschmeidig, easy sipper. Dazu passt auch das entspannte ABV.

    Probably the first Galapagos single cask rum. On the nose, it looks like a hybrid of young Agricole and young Antigua/Barbados rum with a slight acidity as if from very fresh virgin oak. The palate is then slightly fruity but also woody and spicy. Lots of spices such as nutmeg, cardamom and cinnamon, as well as slightly smoky aromas... Overall, well-integrated alcohol and mild to drink but aromatically not a miracle of complexity. The finish is a little too bitter and smoky for me, but basically a good rum.

    Die Nase lässt mich nicht an Zuckerrohrsaft denken. Wenn ich es nicht wüsste würde ich auf Melasse tippen. Gar nicht so einfach zu greifen. Habe mir neben dem Snifter noch ein 1920 Blenders Glass zur Hilfe genommen. Vanille, Karamell, junges Holz und zahlreiche Gewürznoten wie Zimt, Piment und Kardamom. Passt Aromatisch gut in die Vorweihnachtszeit. Am Gaumen hat er durchaus eine erstaunliche Süße für einen ungezuckerten Rum. Das Mundgefühl ist etwas auf der öligen/viskosen Seite. Zu den beschriebenen Gewürzen, der Vanille und dem Karamell gesellen sich hier ein paar fruchtige Noten. Auch diese sind wieder schwer zu präzisieren. Eine spritzige frische Note könnte Stachelbeere sein. Ich habe in Kombination mit den Gewürzen aber auch so etwas wie einen Bratapfel. Der Abgang ist lang und Gewürz- sowie Holzbetont (auch hier junges Holz). Auch Geschmacklich erinnert er mich eher an einen Melasserum. Ich finde keine typischen Zuckerrohrsaftnoten. Der passt bestimmt perfekt zum Weihnachtsgebäck und einem Chai. Ich finde ihn recht gefällig, nichts was jemanden abschreckt oder überfordert. Dazu passt auch das entspannte ABV.

    Erster Rum von den Galapagos Inseln. Schöne Mischung aus gelben Früchten, Gewürzen, süße und junges Holz. Es fehlt aber an Tiefe und Komplexität. Für mich ist das Highlight das Logo auf der Flasche :)
