    How does this rum taste?

    Reviewers love its fresh sugarcane nose with bright citrus and exotic fruit. With air, notes of dried banana, orange peel and soft spice appear. On the palate it’s light, slightly bitter and fruity, with hints of dried fruit and waxy wood. Best sipped neat after a little airing. A good pick if you enjoy citrus-forward Guadeloupe agricoles and want a softer 42% Damoiseau.

    7,4:On the nose it opens with fresh sugar cane juice and exotic fruits like papaya, guava or even melon. These fruits will ripen as the rum is aired, letting in light nuts and vanilla. The woodiness is also light, a little waxy and resinous. Aeration brings out gourmet and mature face with dried banana, fresh tobacco, yeast, even black tea and some perfumed notes. The woodiness is melted and slightly toasted, the spices are sweet-pepper and the orange peel, become caramelized, while cognac notes complete the picture on the nose. 7,2:On the palate it is rich, quite seductive. The citrus fruits begin their freshness, present themselves as a sweet marmalade with candied ginger shards. There is less sugar cane as on the nose. The mid-palate is very soft, the intensity goes down, but the aromas of waxy wood and dried fruits are really tasty.After rest, it is a bit iodized, bitter... 7,4:The finish is with sugar cane, woody, dry, with fresh tobacco, fruity, yeast and black tea, round and mellow...

    Und von Reunion geht es zurück in die Karibik :) Relativ fruchtig in der Nase, vor allem Zitrusfrüchte haben wir hier, außerdem leichte Holznuancen. Am Gaumen dann relativ würzig, aber auch leicht bitter und etwas holzig

    Tolle Nase nach Himbeeren, Zitrusfrüchten und diversen Back Aromatisch dann leider sehr dünn und verwässert, auch ungewöhnlich süß und eher etwas eindimensional. Gleichzeitig könnte der Alkohol besser integriert sein. Mal wieder ein Beispiel für misslungene Verdünnung eines potentiell guten Rums.

    Puh. Also zunächst 2 positive Punkte: 1. Es ist anscheinend Rum 2. Er schmeckt besser als Remedy Spiced Danach wird's wirklich eng. Da kommt überhaupt nichts. Die Nase ist faktisch nicht vorhanden, auf der Zunge kommt wässrige Zitrone und mit viel Phantasie ein wenig Fass. Nach dem Schlucken ist es 3 Sekunden später auch so, als ob man ihn nie probiert hätte.
