Silver Seal Nicaragua Rum 1998
Most enjoy the floral, creamy, spicy profile and well-integrated oak. Some find it a bit thin for nearly 50% and not a benchmark Nicaragua, but overall see it as a good, characterful sipper.
Spanish-style rum drinkers who want an older, more characterful bottle with floral, vanilla and tobacco notes and don’t mind taking time to let it open up.

Another very nice rum from Silver Seal and its not that expensive actually. The nose starts of on a floral note with a bit of herbal touches. Then you have fruit and vanilla followed by a hint of chocolate, coffee and nuts. The palate is creamy with fruits and spices followed by a nice mix of sugar, caramel, tobacco and flowers. At the end there is a nice oaky twist to it. The finish is long and warm with licorice and tobacco topped with some nice oak.
A very decent Nicaragua. Some weird complexities. But all in all a good cask selection from silver seal. This needed a lot of time to change to the better. This is however unfortunately not the standard for Nicaragua...
Nicaragua goes Jamaica. Ein guter Sipper. Erinnert mich an den Velier Antigua.
Fruity-floral nose. In front lovely lemon with tangerine, behind it apple and some grape. There is also a fine smoke note through, cold cigar smoke, but only very gently and in addition some spicy vanilla. Light sweetness of honey and sugar syrup but determine the smell.Palate: acts despite the almost 50% somewhat thin. Have as first again this light cigar smoke, followed by slightly bitter lime peel. Also reminds of a white wine with some grape and apple. Out the back it turns greenish, tastes a bit like flower stalks. I don't quite like the Spanish style, unfortunately. The age makes this one a bit more interesting though.
