"Another release where I think the cask finish damaged the final result. Sweet and fruity with smoky wood."

"Im Geruch. Süßlich mit ganz leichtem Rauchton und viel Gebäck. Der Rauch erinnert an lagerfeuer und weniger an getorftem Whisky. Dann Geschmack kommt dann der Rauch sehr stark und vollkommen überraschend. Das hätte ich bei diesem rum nicht erwartet. Wie für die Firma üblich sehr süß. Allerdings hat der Rauch etwas. Ich war positiv überrascht von diesem rum. Für mich bis jetzt das beste was ich von dieser Firma getrunken habe. Vor allem der Preis ist vergleichsweise zu seinen Artgenossen recht fair gestaltet."

"7,5:The rum nose is very sweet and fruity. Unlike the brand's other rums, the first moments are not marked by a few heavy exotic fruit notes. Here, we're immediately plunged into something syrupy, liquorish, like a fruit syrup. Cinnamon is clearly present, providing a pastry-like quality. The alcohol expresses itself and escapes from this thick liquid. Vanilla rounds out the finish, with melted candy sugar and candied citrus peel. Alcohol mingles with pepper and tickles the nose.Aeration confirms and reinforces the sweet, gently spicy profile. You'd expect a sweet rum, now refreshed by finer spices like cardamom, and a sweet, icy mint edge. With time, the rum settles on candied fruit and spices= Christmas cake character. 7,5:The palate reveals the hint of heaviness (very ripe, even cooked banana) that was not present in the first notes. The rum is gripping, acidic, high in alcohol but very sweet and full-bodied. The candied fruits and spices are full-bodied and consistent, catching the taste buds thanks to a coffee powder. 7,2:The finish is permeated with coffee, still with a candy-like impression that in the end is more reminiscent of cola."
